Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: Rectangle : Diagonal
Explanation
Introduction / Context:A circle is associated with its diameter as a characteristic straight-line segment. For a rectangle, the comparable characteristic segment is its diagonal.
Concept / Approach:Maintain “figure → its internal connecting segment” symmetry.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Diameter : Radius — Reverses role (segment-to-segment), not figure-to-segment.
- Square : Rectangle — Figure-to-figure relation.
- Bisector : Angle — Operator-to-object, reversed direction.
- None of these — invalid since a correct pair exists.
Final Answer:Rectangle : Diagonal
