Question:

Select the word which means the same as the group of words given.

A geometrical figure with eight sides

Options:

Pentagon

Hexagon

Octagon

Heptagon

Correct Answer:

Octagon

Explanation:

The word that means the same as the group of words "a geometrical figure with eight sides" is octagon.

  • Pentagon means a geometrical figure with five sides.
  • Hexagon means a geometrical figure with six sides.
  • Heptagon means a geometrical figure with seven sides.
  • Octagon means a geometrical figure with eight sides.

The word octagon is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a shape with eight sides. The other words do not have the same connotation of eight-sidedness.
