Question

In the given figure, the numbers associated with the rectangle, triangle, and ellipse are 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Which one among the given options is the most appropriate combination of \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \)?

• A. \( P = 6; Q = 5; R = 3 \)
• B. \( P = 5; Q = 6; R = 3 \)
• C. \( P = 3; Q = 6; R = 6 \)
• D. \( P = 5; Q = 3; R = 6 \)

Hint:

When solving geometry problems involving multiple shapes, carefully observe the labels and dimensions associated with each shape. Use these details to assign values to the variables based on the geometric properties.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In this problem, we are given a figure involving three geometric shapes: a rectangle, a triangle, and an ellipse. We need to determine the most appropriate values for \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \) based on the dimensions provided in the figure.

The number \( P \) is associated with the length of the rectangle's side. Since the side of the rectangle is labeled as 6, we can conclude that \( P = 6 \).
The number \( Q \) is associated with the height of the triangle. The height of the triangle is labeled as 5, so \( Q = 5 \).
The number \( R \) is associated with the length of the major axis of the ellipse. The length of the major axis is labeled as 3, so \( R = 3 \).

Thus, the correct values are \( P = 6 \), \( Q = 5 \), and \( R = 3 \).
