A group of students decided to look at rectangles that are spuare. They find that no matter what size square they drew, every square was similar to shape B in the Shapes Set and to all other squares. They found that all squares are similar! They decided to call a square an All-Similar shape.
The students wanted to know whether there were any other All-Similar shapes like the square. that is, are there any other groups of shapes called by the same name that are similar to all other shapes called by that name?
1.Make a list of the names of all the shapes in the Shapes Set (squares, rectangles, triangles. triangles, equilateral triangles, circles, and regular hexagons).
2. For each type of shape, list the shapes (using their letter names) that belong in that group.
3. Sort the different types of shapes into two groups:All-similar shapes (such as squares) and shapes that are not All-Similar (such as rectangles).
4. Describe ways in which All-Similar shapes are alike.
Help Me!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry cant help
I can help u I don't want to
mama
To answer the question, we need to follow these steps:
1. Make a list of the names of all the shapes in the Shapes Set:
- Squares
- Rectangles
- Triangles (which include various types)
- Equilateral triangles
- Circles
- Regular hexagons
2. For each type of shape, list the shapes that belong in that group:
- Squares: All squares, regardless of size, are in this group.
- Rectangles: All rectangles, including squares, are in this group.
- Triangles: Various types of triangles, such as equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, scalene triangles, etc., belong to this group.
- Equilateral triangles: Only equilateral triangles belong to this specific group.
- Circles: All circles belong to this group.
- Regular hexagons: Only regular hexagons belong to this specific group.
3. Sort the different types of shapes into two groups:
- All-Similar shapes: In this case, only squares belong to this group, as every square is similar to every other square regardless of size.
- Shapes that are not All-Similar: This group includes all other shapes mentioned in the Shapes Set, such as rectangles, triangles (excluding equilateral triangles), circles, and regular hexagons.
4. Describe ways in which All-Similar shapes are alike:
- All squares have the same number of sides (4).
- All interior angles of squares are right angles (90 degrees).
- All sides of squares are equal in length.
- The diagonals of squares intersect each other at right angles.
- All squares have four lines of symmetry, dividing them into equal halves.
By following these steps, you can analyze and understand the Shapes Set and determine which shapes are All-Similar and how they differ from other shapes.
