Question

Kipp is making bird houses for a park. The guidelines tell him how many of each wooden in shape to use on one birdhouse .If he follows the guidelines which statement is true?

A) For 8 birdhouse, he will need 16 trapezoids.
B) For 12 birdhouses , he will need 16 rectangles
C) The ratio of trapezoids to squares is 1 to 2
D) The ratio of squares to triangles is 2 to 1

Answer 1

The answer to this is A) For 8 birdhouses, he will need 16 trapezoids.

(B = 12*4 is 48 not 16.) (C = A 2 to 1 ratio.) (D = a 1 to 2 ratio.) Hope that helps!

Answer 2

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

It is given that for a birdhouse, he needs one of these shapes:

a) 2 trapezoid

b) 1 square

c) 2 triangles

d) 4 rectangles

To make 8 birdhouse the number of required trapezoids is

`8* 2=16`

It means for 8 birdhouse, he will need 16 trapezoids. Therefore option A is correct.

To make 12 birdhouse the number of required rectangles is

`12* 4=48`

It means for 12 birdhouse, he will need 48 rectangles. Therefore option B is incorrect.

The ratio of trapezoids to squares is

`Ratio=(Trapezoid)/(Square)=(2)/(1)`

The ratio of trapezoids to squares is 2 to 1. Therefore option C is incorrect.

The ratio of squares to triangles is

`Ratio=(Square)/(Triangles)=(1)/(2)`

The ratio of squares to triangles is 1 to 2. Therefore option D is incorrect.
