Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two school crossing signs labeled Figure A and Figure B. The signs are pentagons. A silhouette of a walking man and woman are centrally located on the signs. Starting at the bottom left vertex of both figures, the vertices are labeled A, B, C, D, and E. A line inside Figure A connects the vertices B and D. A vertical perpendicular line extends down from the top vertex C to the base side A E. Lines inside Figure B connect the vertices A and C, B and D, and C and E.
Select the correct decomposition into triangles of the sign shaped as a pentagon.
Choose 1 for Figure A , 2 for Figure B , or 3 for both Figure A and Figure B .
I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I don't have the ability to view or interpret images. However, I can provide some insight into how a pentagon could be decomposed into triangles.
To decompose a pentagon into triangles, you would typically draw lines (diagonals or medians) connecting non-adjacent vertices until the pentagon is divided into non-overlapping triangles. The number of triangles you can form from a pentagon by drawing lines from its vertices is three.
Without seeing the actual illustration, for Figure A, if there's a line connecting vertices B and D as well as a vertical line from the top vertex C down to the midpoint of the base AE, this would indicate that three triangles are formed within the pentagon.
For Figure B, if there are lines connecting vertices A and C, B and D, as well as C and E, this would also form a set of triangles within the pentagon.
Without the image, I cannot determine which figure correctly decomposes the pentagon into triangles, but it's possible that both do, so the answer could be 3 for both Figure A and Figure B if both figures indeed show the pentagon decomposed properly into triangles. If only one of the figures shows the proper decomposition, then the answer would correspond to that particular figure, either 1 for Figure A or 2 for Figure B.
