Question

Consider the given figure.


To make two triangular shapes, the given figure must be cut along -

• A. AF
• B. AC
• C. EF
• D. BD

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

BD

A triangular shape has 3 straight sides.

$\therefore$ The given figure must be cut in such a way that the cutouts have 3 sides.

Cut the rectangle along its diagonal BD.

Two triangles $△ABD$ and $△BDC$ are formed.

Similarly, when the cut is along the diagonal AC, $△ABC$ and $△ADC$ are formed.

However, the following cut will not obtain two triangular shapes.
