2) What is a three-dimensional geometrical shape with all points equidistant from the center?

Explanation

A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical shape in three-dimensional space with all points on its surface equidistant from the center. It is different from other shapes like cubes, cylinders, and pyramids in terms of its structure and properties.

Submit
3) What shape is formed by a flat circular base that narrows to a point at the top?

Explanation

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that narrows to a point at the top, resembling a party hat. The other options, sphere, cube, and cylinder, do not share this particular characteristic.

Submit
4) What is a flat shape known as?

Explanation

A flat shape is typically referred to as a plane figure as it lies in a plane without any depth or thickness.

Submit
5) What type of figure is defined by having three dimensions - length, width, and height?

Explanation

A solid figure is a three-dimensional figure that has length, width, and height. Unlike points (zero dimensions), lines (one dimension), and planes (two dimensions), solid figures occupy space in three dimensions.

Submit
6) What is a flat surface on a solid figure referred to as?

Explanation

In geometry, a face is a flat surface that forms part of the boundary of a solid figure. An edge is a line segment where two faces meet, a vertex is a point where multiple edges meet, and a corner is a point where multiple faces meet.

Submit
7) What do you call a point where 3 or more edges meet?

Explanation

In geometry, a vertex is a point where two or more line segments, rays, or edges meet. It is also known as a corner or node.

Submit
8) What is the term for a line segment where 2 faces meet?

Explanation

In geometry, an edge is the line segment where two faces meet. A vertex is a point where two or more edges meet, a surface refers to a flat geometric shape, and an angle is the figure formed by two rays called the sides of the angle.

Submit
9) What shape has 3 sides?

Explanation

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Other shapes mentioned such as square, circle, and pentagon do not have 3 sides.

Submit
10) What shape has 4 sides?

Explanation

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides, which distinguishes it from other shapes such as triangles, circles, and pentagons, which have different numbers of sides.

Submit
11) What is a shape that has 5 sides?

Explanation

A pentagon is a geometric shape with five sides, while a triangle has three sides, a square has four sides, and a hexagon has six sides.

Submit
12) How many sides does a hexagon have?

Explanation

A hexagon has six sides. Each side is a straight line segment.

Submit
13) How many sides does an octagon have?

Explanation

An octagon is a polygon with eight sides. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Eight'. Options 'Six', 'Ten', and 'Twelve' do not correspond to the number of sides in an octagon.

Submit
14) What is an exact location in space?

Explanation

In mathematics, a point is a precise position or location in space with no size or shape. It is considered to have no dimensions and is identified by its coordinates.

Submit
15) What is a part of a line that has two endpoints?

Explanation

A line segment is a part of a line that has a definite length and two endpoints. A point is a specific location on a plane, a ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction, and a line has no endpoints and extends infinitely in both directions.

Submit
16) What is formed by 2 rays that have the same endpoint?

Explanation

An angle is formed when two rays share a common endpoint. A line is formed by an infinite number of points in a straight path. A curve is a line that deviates from a straight path. A point is a precise location in space with no width or length.

Submit
17) What is the term for a square corner measuring 90 degrees?

Explanation

A square corner measuring 90 degrees is known as a right angle. It is common in geometry and is represented by the symbol ∟.

Submit
18) What is the term for an angle that is less than a right angle (< 90 degrees)?

Explanation

An acute angle is less than 90 degrees, while an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees. A right angle is exactly 90 degrees, and a straight angle is exactly 180 degrees.

Submit
19) What term is used to describe an angle that is greater than a right angle (> 90 degrees)?

Explanation

An angle that is greater than a right angle but less than a straight angle is known as an obtuse angle, which measures between 91 and 179 degrees.

Submit
20) What pattern can be used to make a solid?

Explanation

A net is a two-dimensional pattern that can be folded to form a three-dimensional solid.

Submit
21) What is part of a line that has 1 endpoint and continues on in 1 direction?

Explanation

A ray is part of a line that has one fixed endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction, whereas a line has no endpoints, a line segment has two endpoints, and a vector has both magnitude and direction.

Submit
22) What do we call the common endpoint in an angle?

Explanation

In geometry, the common endpoint in an angle is known as the vertex. It is the point where two lines or line segments meet to form an angle.

Submit
23) What is the term for an angle that forms a straight line equal to 180 degrees?

Explanation

A straight angle is formed when two lines are opposite each other and form a straight line, measuring 180 degrees. A right angle measures 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and an acute angle is less than 90 degrees.

Submit
24) What type of lines never intersect?

Explanation

Parallel lines are those that are always the same distance apart and will never intersect. Perpendicular lines intersect at a 90-degree angle, intersecting lines intersect at some point, and concave lines have a curved or indented shape.

Submit
25) What is a closed plane figure made up of line segments?

Explanation

A polygon is a figure formed by connecting multiple line segments to enclose a space, while a circle is a curve with all points the same distance from the center, a triangle has three sides, and a quadrilateral has four sides.

Submit
26) What geometric shape is formed by taking a rectangle and rotating it around one of its sides?

Explanation

A cylinder is formed by taking a rectangle and rotating it around one of its sides to create a shape with two circular faces and a curved surface. A sphere is formed by all points equidistant from a center point, a cube has six square faces, and a cone has a circular base with a pointed top.
