Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    I have 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. I can be a box, an IceCube, a TV or a cage. What am I?

    • A.

      A cone.

    • B.

      A rectangular prism.

    • C.

      A dog.

    • D.

      A cube.

    • E.

      A sphere.

    Correct Answer
    D. A cube.
    Explanation
    The given description matches that of a cube. A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices, which corresponds to the information provided. A cone, rectangular prism, dog, and sphere do not have the same number of faces, edges, and vertices as stated in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is a cube.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    I have 5 faces, and my base is a square. I can be a pyramid, a tent, or a mountain. What am I?

    • A.

      A dog.

    • B.

      A rectangular prism.

    • C.

      A square pyramid.

    • D.

      A pentagonal prism.

    • E.

      A sphere.

    Correct Answer
    C. A square pyramid.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a square pyramid. This is because a square pyramid has 5 faces, with a square base and 4 triangular faces that form a point at the top. The other options do not fit the given description. A rectangular prism has 6 faces, a pentagonal prism has 7 faces, and a sphere has no faces. A dog is not a geometric shape and does not fit the given description.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    I have 3 faces and 2 edges. I can be a water tank, a pipe or a candle. What am I?

    • A.

      A cylinder.

    • B.

      A hemi-sphere.

    • C.

      A rectangular prism.

    • D.

      A dog.

    • E.

      An icosahedron.

    Correct Answer
    A. A cylinder.
    Explanation
    The given question describes an object with 3 faces and 2 edges, which fits the description of a cylinder. A cylinder has two circular faces and one curved face, and it has two curved edges. The other options, such as a hemi-sphere, rectangular prism, dog, or icosahedron, do not have the same number of faces and edges as described in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is a cylinder.

    Rate this question:

      A cube.

    Correct Answer
    B. A rhombicosidodecahedron
    Explanation
    A rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid that has 62 faces, 60 vertices, and 120 edges. The picture provided matches the shape of a rhombicosidodecahedron, confirming that it is the correct answer.

    • E.

      An octagonal pyramid.

    Correct Answer
    D. A hemisphere.
    Explanation
    The given description states that the object has 2 faces and 1 edge, which matches the characteristics of a hemisphere. A hemisphere is half of a sphere and has a curved surface with only one edge where the flat face meets the curved surface. Additionally, the statement mentions that there are 2 of these objects on Earth, further confirming that the answer is a hemisphere.

Therefore, the correct answer is a cone.
