Question

describing an object which describes the pedestrian crossing sign shown? the sign is a parallelogram because both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. the sign is a parallelogram because at least one pair of opposite sides is parallel. the sign is a trapezoid because exactly one

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of a parallelogram

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.

Step2: Analyze the first option

The sign has both pairs of opposite sides parallel. This satisfies the definition of a parallelogram.

Step3: Analyze the second option

The statement “at least one pair of opposite sides is parallel” is the definition of a trapezoid (not a parallelogram). A parallelogram requires both pairs of opposite sides to be parallel.

Step4: Analyze the third option (assuming it's about a trapezoid)

A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. But the pedestrian - crossing sign has two pairs of parallel sides.

Answer:

The sign is a parallelogram because both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
