Question

which big shape can you make with these two small shapes?
you are allowed to turn the small shapes.

Explanation:

Identify the given small shapes

The two small shapes provided are:

1. A semicircle (half of a circle, representing a \(180^\circ\) sector).
2. A quadrant (a quarter of a circle, representing a \(90^\circ\) sector).

Analyze the options

• First Option: A teardrop-like shape with one straight-edged corner and a curved bottom. This does not match the combination of a semicircle and a quadrant.
• Second Option: A shape made of a larger curved sector with a corner cut out or joined. Specifically, a semicircle (\(180^\circ\)) and a quadrant (\(90^\circ\)) joined along their straight edges can form a three-quarter circle (\(270^\circ\) sector), which matches this shape.

Answer:

• (A) Teardrop-like shape
• (B) Three-quarter circle shape (Correct answer)
