Question

Daphne has a toy whose top face is a quadrilateral, and it has only one pair of parallel sides. What is the shape of her toy?

• A. Square
  
• B. Trapezoid
  
• C. Triangle
  
• D. Rectangle
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Trapezoid


Square: It has four equal sides and two pairs of parallel sides; hence, it cannot be the shape of the toy’s top face.
Option B
Rectangle: It has equal opposite sides and two pairs of parallel sides; hence, it cannot be the shape of the top face of the toy.
Option C
Triangle: It is a closed figure with 3 sides; hence, it is not a quadrilateral, and not the shape of the top face of the toy.
Option D
Trapezoid: A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
Hence, the top face of the toy is a trapezoid.
