3D Shapes
1. Problem: Identify each 3D shape based on the given number of faces, edges, corners, and face types.
2. (a) The shape has 5 faces, 5 corners, and 8 edges. One face is a square, and the other four are triangles.
- This describes a square pyramid.
- Explanation: A square pyramid has a square base and four triangular faces meeting at a point (apex).
3. (b) The shape has 1 flat face, 1 curved face, and 1 edge.
- This describes a cone.
- Explanation: A cone has a circular flat base, one curved surface, and one circular edge where the base meets the curved surface.
4. (c) The shape has 2 flat faces, 1 curved face, and 2 edges.
- This describes a cylinder.
- Explanation: A cylinder has two parallel circular flat faces (top and bottom), one curved surface, and two circular edges.
5. (d) The shape has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 corners.
- This describes a cube or a rectangular prism.
- Explanation: Both have 6 flat faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices (corners). If all faces are squares, it is a cube.
6. (e) The shape has 5 faces: 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.
- This describes a triangular prism.
- Explanation: A triangular prism has two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces.
7. (f) The shape has 1 circular base and a curved face.
- This describes a cone.
- Explanation: Same as (b), a cone has one circular base and one curved surface.
8. (g) The shape has 6 congruent faces.
- This describes a cube.
- Explanation: A cube has 6 faces that are all congruent squares.
Final answers:
(a) Square pyramid
(b) Cone
(c) Cylinder
(d) Cube or rectangular prism
(e) Triangular prism
(f) Cone
(g) Cube
