Question

A student draws a geometric shape where all of the sides are different lengths. which of the following geometric shapes could the student have drawn?

a. rhombus

b. trapezoid

c. isosceles triangle

d. equilateral triangle

Answer 1

The student could have drawn a trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student could have drawn a trapezoid. In a trapezoid, all four sides can have different lengths. The trapezoid has two parallel sides called the bases, and the other two sides called the legs. The bases can have different lengths, and the legs can have different lengths as well.

For example, let's say the student drew a trapezoid with a shorter base of 8 units, a longer base of 12 units, and legs of 6 units and 10 units. In this case, all the sides have different lengths, and it fits the definition of a trapezoid.

Answer 2

A. This is not the answer because all four sides of a rhombus are the same length. We can rule out choice A

B. This is the answer because we can eliminate choice C and D. A trapezoid could have all four sides that are different in length as long as its not isosceles.

C. An isosceles triangle has two sides that are the same length so we can rule this out

D. All three sides of any equilateral triangle are the same length, so we can rule this out.

So once again, the answer is choice B
