Answer 1

D. as a trapezoid, a rectangle, and two squares

Explanation:

(image)

a is a trapezoid,

b is a rectangle,

and c and d are two squares

Answer 2

D is the correct answer. You can use cross sections. The top part is the first cross section with it being the trapezoid. Underneath the trapezoid is the rectangle which is supported by 2 smaller squares. If you want, you can draw it out and places lines to separate each shape. Hope this helps!
