question 34 of 40

the figure shown is to be painted on a road sign. which of the following best describes the two polygons that form the figure?

a. a rectangle and a parallelogram
b. a rectangle and an isosceles triangle
c. a rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid
d. a rectangle and a rhombus

Explanation:

Identify the component shapes of the arrow figure

The arrow figure is composed of two distinct geometric parts joined together:

1. A horizontal shaft on the left, which is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides equal and parallel, and four right angles. This is a rectangle.
2. A triangular head on the right, which is symmetric about the horizontal axis of the arrow, representing a triangle with two equal sides. This is an isosceles triangle.

Match with the given options

• Option A: A rectangle and a parallelogram (incorrect, the head is a triangle).
• Option B: A rectangle and an isosceles triangle (correct, matches the identified shapes).
• Option C: A rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid (incorrect, the head is a triangle).
• Option D: A rectangle and a rhombus (incorrect, the head is a triangle).

Answer:

• A. A rectangle and a parallelogram
• B. A rectangle and an isosceles triangle (Correct answer)
• C. A rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid
• D. A rectangle and a rhombus
