Answer:
The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that for a birdhouse, he needs one of these shapes:
a) 2 trapezoid
b) 1 square
c) 2 triangles
d) 4 rectangles
To make 8 birdhouse the number of required trapezoids is
[tex]8\times 2=16[/tex]
It means for 8 birdhouse, he will need 16 trapezoids. Therefore option A is correct.
To make 12 birdhouse the number of required rectangles is
[tex]12\times 4=48[/tex]
It means for 12 birdhouse, he will need 48 rectangles. Therefore option B is incorrect.
The ratio of trapezoids to squares is
[tex]Ratio=\frac{Trapezoid}{Square}=\frac{2}{1}[/tex]
The ratio of trapezoids to squares is 2 to 1. Therefore option C is incorrect.
The ratio of squares to triangles is
[tex]Ratio=\frac{Square}{Triangles}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The ratio of squares to triangles is 1 to 2. Therefore option D is incorrect.
