Answer:

The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.

Answer:

7. ○ ∆ACB ≅ ∆DFE

6. ○ $\displaystyle 43°$

5. ○ $\displaystyle ∠M ≅ ∠S$

4. ○ $\displaystyle octagon$

3. ○ $\displaystyle squares$

2. ○ $\displaystyle rhombus$

1. ○ $\displaystyle equilateral\:triangle$

Step-by-step explanation:

7. Everything is in correspondence with each other, so just follow the pattern in the order the they were originally.

6. All angles correspond with each other, so just follow the pattern.

5. All segments and angles correspond with each other, so just follow their patterns.

4. An octagon has eight sides, a triangle has three sides, a hexagon has six sides, and a pentagon has five sides. With this being stated, you have your answer.

3. In a previous lesson, we confirmed that all squares are rectangles because it is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

2. This is obviously a rhombus because it is a quadrilateral with four congruent angles and sides.

1. An EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE is a regular polygon because they have three congruent angles and sides.
