Verified Answer :

The answer to this is A) For 8 birdhouses, he will need 16 trapezoids.

(B = 12*4 is 48 not 16.) (C = A 2 to 1 ratio.) (D = a 1 to 2 ratio.) Hope that helps! 

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

\(8\times 2=16\)

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

\(12\times 4=48\)

It means for 12 birdhouse, he will need 48 rectangles. Therefore option B is incorrect.

The ratio of trapezoids to squares is

\(Ratio=\frac{Trapezoid}{Square}=\frac{2}{1}\)

The ratio of trapezoids to squares is 2 to 1. Therefore option C is incorrect.

The ratio of squares to triangles is

\(Ratio=\frac{Square}{Triangles}=\frac{1}{2}\)

The ratio of squares to triangles is 1 to 2. Therefore option D is incorrect.
