Question

An illustration shows an 8 row by 11 column grid. Four hexagons are graphed on it. The hexagons are labeled figure 1, figure 2, figure 3, and figure 4. The top and bottom sides of figure 1 are parallel. The two sides on the left are of equal length. The two sides on the right are shorter but also of equal length. The two sides on the left of figure 2 are of equal length. No other sides are of equal length. No sides are parallel. The two sides at the top of figure 3 are of equal length. The left and right sides are of equal length. The two sides at the bottom are nearly equal length. No sides are parallel. The top and bottom sides of figure 4 are parallel. The two sides on the left are of equal length. The two sides on the right are shorter but also of equal length.

Which figure can be obtained by transforming figure 1?

Answer 1

Based on the description you provided, figure 1 is characterized by having its top and bottom sides parallel and two left sides of equal length and shorter right sides of equal length.

For a figure to be obtained by transforming figure 1, it would typically involve operations like rotation, reflection, or translation that maintain the parallel nature of the sides.

From the other figures:

• Figure 2 has no parallel sides and does not resemble figure 1.
• Figure 3 has sides of equal lengths but is described as having no parallel sides, which also does not maintain the characteristics of figure 1.
• Figure 4 has parallel top and bottom sides and equal lengths on the left sides, matching more closely to figure 1.

Therefore, the figure that can be obtained by transforming figure 1 is likely figure 4, as it retains the same basic structural features (parallel sides and equal lengths) as figure 1.
