A pentagon is a 6 sided figure.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A pentagon is a 5-sided figure, not a 6-sided figure. A pentagon is a polygon with five straight sides and five angles. The term "penta" means five in Greek, which is why a pentagon has five sides. Therefore, the statement that a pentagon is a 6-sided figure is incorrect.Rate this question:

If a baby octagon is being raised by his/her grandparents, what figure is the grandfather?
- A.
Hexagon
- B.
Pentagon
Correct Answer
A. HexagonExplanation
Since a baby octagon is being raised by his/her grandparents, the figure representing the grandfather must have the same number of sides as the baby octagon. An octagon has 8 sides, so the grandfather figure must also have 8 sides. The only option with 8 sides is a hexagon, so the correct answer is hexagon.Rate this question:

A circle is a 1 dimensional figure.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A circle is not a 1-dimensional figure because it is a closed curve in a plane, which means it has both length and width. A 1-dimensional figure would only have length and no width or depth. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

A circle has a infinite number of sides.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A circle is a geometric shape that is defined as a set of points equidistant from a central point. It is formed by a continuous curve, which means that it has no straight sides or angles like polygons. Since a circle is a continuous curve, it can be considered to have an infinite number of sides, as there are an infinite number of points along its circumference. Therefore, the statement "A circle has an infinite number of sides" is true.Rate this question:

The circles are in charge because they are the most evolved shape in Flatland. (Remember: Spheres do not live in Flatland.)
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that circles are considered the most evolved shape in Flatland because they have the highest number of sides compared to other shapes. In Flatland, shapes with more sides are seen as more advanced and superior. Since spheres do not exist in Flatland, circles are considered the highest form of shape and therefore are in charge.Rate this question:

An equilateral triangle is more evolved/advanced/better/"smarter" than an isocycles triangle.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
An equilateral triangle is considered more evolved or advanced than an isosceles triangle because it has all three sides and angles equal, which demonstrates a higher level of symmetry and balance. This uniformity in an equilateral triangle suggests a higher level of sophistication and complexity compared to an isosceles triangle, which only has two sides and angles equal.Rate this question:

A sphere has 3 dimensions.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A sphere is a three-dimensional object because it has length, width, and height. It is not a two-dimensional shape like a circle, which only has length and width. In three-dimensional space, a sphere can be defined by its center point and radius. Its surface is made up of all points that are equidistant from the center. Therefore, a sphere has three dimensions.Rate this question:

The line cannot look up or down because he is 1 dimensional.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because being one-dimensional means that the line only exists in a single dimension, such as a straight line on a piece of paper. In this case, there is no vertical or horizontal movement, so the line cannot look up or down. It is limited to existing in a single dimension.Rate this question:
