Answer 1

Explanation:

Here is the latex diagram

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm} \begin{picture}(1,0) \thicklines\qbezier(0,0)(0,0)(2,2)\qbezier(0,0)(0,0)(4,0)\qbezier(4,0)(2,2)(2,2)\put( - 0.29, 0.45){\line(2,1){1.6}}\put( - 0.29, 0.45){\vector(2, 1){1}}\put(1.2, 1.26){\line(1, 0){1.5}}\put( 1.2, 1.26){\vector(1, 0){0.9}}\put(2.7, 1.26){\line(1, 0){2.5}}\put(2.75,1.25 ){\line(6, -1){2.5}} \put(2.75,1.25 ){\line(5,-2){2.5}} \put(2.75,1.25 ){\line(4,-1){2.5}}\put(2.75,1.25 ){\line(3,-2){2.5}}\put(2.75,1.25 ){\line(5, - 3){2.5}}\put(2.75,1.25 ){\line(5,-4){2.5}}\put(5.5, -1.4 ){\line(0,1){3}}\put(7.2, -1.4 ){\line(0,1){3}} \put(5.7, 1.2 ){ \bf Red }\put(5.7, 0.8 ){ \bf Orange }\put(5.7, 0.4 ){ \bf Yellow }\put(5.7, 0){ \bf Green }\put(5.7, - 0.4 ){ \bf Blue }\put(5.7, - 0.8){ \bf Indigo }\put(5.7, - 1.2 ){ \bf Violet }\end{picture}$
