DIRECTIONS: Each of the following questions has an underlined/capitali...
Comparison of Shapes:
- The underlined word "OCTAGON" refers to a shape with eight sides, while "SQUARE" refers to a shape with four sides.
- In this analogy, we are looking for a similar relationship between "HEXAGON" and another shape.
Identifying the Relationship:
- A HEXAGON is a shape with six sides, so we need to find a shape with a similar relationship to "HEXAGON" as "SQUARE" has to "OCTAGON."
- In this case, the relationship is the number of sides - SQUARE has 4 sides, which is one less than OCTAGON's 8 sides.
Applying the Relationship:
- Out of the given options, the shape that fits the relationship with HEXAGON (6 sides) as SQUARE fits with OCTAGON (8 sides) is a TRIANGLE.
- A TRIANGLE has 3 sides, which is one less than HEXAGON's 6 sides, just like how SQUARE has 4 sides, one less than OCTAGON's 8 sides.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - TRIANGLE.
