Which two solids below have the same number of faces?
-
Solids B and C
-
Solids A and B
-
Solids A and D
Correct Answer
A. Solids A and DExplanation
Shape A is a rectangular prism, which has 6 faces.
Shape B is a cylinder, which has 3 faces.
Shape C is a sphere, which has 1 continuous curved surface and no distinct faces.
Shape D is a cube, which also has 6 faces.
Shapes A and D both have 6 faces. Therefore, these two solids have the same number of faces.Rate this question:

Which shape has three faces?
-
A
-
B
-
C
-
D
Correct Answer
A. BExplanation
A cylinder has two circular faces (one on the top and one on the bottom) and one curved rectangular face that wraps around the sides. This totals three faces: two flat circular faces and one curved face.Rate this question:

Which shape is a cube?
-
A
-
C
-
D
Correct Answer
A. DExplanation
The shape D is a cube because it has six equal square faces. A cube is a three-dimensional shape with equal length, width, and height, and all its faces are congruent squares. Therefore, shape D fits this description and is a cube.Rate this question:

Which statement below is true?
-
This solid figure had 6 corners (vertices).
-
This solid figure is called a pyramid.
-
This solid figure has 8 faces.
Correct Answer
A. This solid figure had 6 corners (vertices).Explanation
The solid figure shown is a triangular prism, which has 6 vertices, 9 edges, and 5 faces (2 triangular and 3 rectangular). It is not a pyramid, as a pyramid has a single base and converges to a single point (apex). A triangular prism has two parallel triangular bases connected by rectangular faces. Each corner where edges meet is called a vertex, and there are 6 vertices in total in a triangular prism.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5Explanation
The shape in the image is a triangular prism.
A triangular prism has 5 faces:
2 triangular faces (the two ends)
3 rectangular faces (connecting the sides of the triangles)
So, the shape shown has 5 faces.Rate this question:
