What is a description of a cone?
-
A figure with a circle top
-
A figure with a pointed top and a circled bottom
-
A figure with a square top
Correct Answer
A. A figure with a pointed top and a circled bottomExplanation
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that has a pointed top and a circular base. The pointed top is called the apex, and the circular base is the bottom of the cone. The shape of a cone resembles that of an ice cream cone or a traffic cone.Rate this question:

Which 3-D shape has six rectangular faces?
-
Sphere
-
Cuboid
-
Cylinder
-
Square
Correct Answer
A. CuboidExplanation
A cuboid is a 3-D shape that has six rectangular faces. It is similar to a rectangular prism, with opposite faces being equal in size and shape. The rectangular faces of a cuboid make it different from other shapes like a sphere, cylinder, or square, which do not have six rectangular faces. Therefore, the correct answer is cuboid.Rate this question:

-
Cube
-
Cuboid
-
Cylinder
-
Rectangle
Correct Answer
A. CubeExplanation
A cube is a solid object that has six faces, all of which are squares. Therefore, the correct answer is Cube.Rate this question:

A 3-D shape can also be called...
-
A flat shape
-
A solid shape
-
A polygon
-
A quadrilateral
Correct Answer
A. A solid shapeExplanation
A 3-D shape can also be called a solid shape because it has three dimensions - length, width, and height. Unlike flat shapes, which only have two dimensions, solid shapes have volume and take up space in three-dimensional space. Solid shapes can be seen and touched from different angles, and they have depth. Therefore, the term "solid shape" accurately describes a 3-D shape.Rate this question:

Most dice are the shape of which 3-D shape?
-
Cuboid
-
Cylinder
-
Cube
-
Square
Correct Answer
A. CubeExplanation
A cube is a three-dimensional shape with six equal square faces. Most dice are shaped like cubes, with each face having a different number of dots or pips. This shape allows for equal probability of landing on any face when rolled, making it ideal for games of chance.Rate this question:

What shape is the cross-section of the sphere?
-
Cone
-
Circle
-
Pyramid
Correct Answer
A. CircleExplanation
The cross-section of a sphere is always a circle. A sphere is a three-dimensional object with all points on its surface equidistant from its center. When a plane intersects a sphere, the resulting cross-section is a circle. This is because a circle is a two-dimensional shape with all points equidistant from its center, just like the surface of a sphere. Therefore, the correct answer is circle.Rate this question:

Vertices are also called...
-
Edges
-
Corners
-
Faces
-
Sides
Correct Answer
A. CornersExplanation
Vertices are points where two or more edges meet in a geometric shape. In two-dimensional shapes, such as polygons, vertices are commonly referred to as corners. Therefore, the correct answer is "Corners".Rate this question:

Will the cross-section be congruent to the base of a cylinder.
-
No
-
Yes
Correct Answer
A. NoExplanation
The cross-section of a cylinder is a circle, while the base of a cylinder is also a circle. Since the question asks if the cross-section will be congruent to the base, and the answer is "no," it implies that the cross-section is not a circle and therefore not congruent to the base.Rate this question:

What kind of shape will you get with a cross-section parallel to the base?
-
Cylinder
-
Circle
-
Cube
Correct Answer
A. CircleExplanation
A cross-section parallel to the base of a cylinder will result in a circle. This is because a cylinder has a circular base, and any cross-section that is parallel to the base will have the same shape as the base, which is a circle.Rate this question:
