What shape is a stop sign?

  1. Oval

  2. Triangle

  3. Hexagon

  4. Rectangle

The correct answer is: Triangle

Explanation Stop signs are universally recognized as having an octagonal shape, with 8 sides of equal length. An oval shape (A) would have 2 curved sides and 2 longer, straight sides; a triangle (C) would have 3 sides and either 2 or 3 angles; and a rectangle (D) would have 4 sides with 2 pairs of equal lengths. None of these shapes accurately represent a stop sign.
