Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given image shows a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides marked as parallel (indicated by arrows). Let’s analyze the shape based on the choices provided:
Given Information:
- Parallel sides: There is only one pair of opposite sides marked as parallel.
- No equal side lengths shown: While not all sides are marked equal, only one pair is parallel.
Evaluating the Options:
- Rhombus: Incorrect. A rhombus requires all sides to be equal in length, which is not indicated here.
- Parallelogram: Incorrect. A parallelogram requires both pairs of opposite sides to be parallel, but here only one pair is parallel.
- Isosceles Trapezoid: Correct. An isosceles trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and the non-parallel sides (legs) are of equal length. Although not explicitly shown, symmetry or alignment hints could support this classification.
- Rectangle: Incorrect. A rectangle requires all angles to be 90°, which is not evident in this figure.
Conclusion:
The correct term is Isosceles Trapezoid.
Would you like a detailed explanation about any specific property of these shapes or further assistance?
