Square : Pentagon :: ?
Analyzing Polygon Relationships
The question requires identifying the relationship between 'Square' and 'Pentagon' and finding a similar relationship among the given options.
The Square-Pentagon Relationship
- A Square is a polygon defined by having 4 sides.
- A Pentagon is a polygon defined by having 5 sides.
- The relationship is sequential based on the number of sides: A polygon with N sides is related to a polygon with N+1 sides. Here, N=4.
Evaluating Word Pairs
- Radius : Perimeter: This pair relates a component of a circle (Radius) to its boundary length (Perimeter). It doesn't involve the count of sides of polygons.
-
Triangle : Rhombus:
- A Triangle has 3 sides (N=3).
- A Rhombus has 4 sides (N+1=4).
- Side : Angle: These are fundamental elements of any polygon, not a sequential relationship based on the number of sides.
- Diagonal : Hypotenuse: These are specific types of lines within geometric figures. A hypotenuse relates specifically to right-angled triangles, and a diagonal relates to polygons generally. This pair doesn't fit the side-count progression.
Determining the Correct Match
The pair 'Triangle : Rhombus' exhibits the same core relationship (N sides : N+1 sides) as 'Square : Pentagon'.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
