A cube has 8 vertices. Each vertex is a point where three edges meet. If we imagine a cube, we can see that there are 8 corners where three edges intersect, giving us a total of 8 vertices.

Submit
30) How many vertices does a rectangular prism have?

(a cube is a rectangular prism with congruent square faces)

Explanation

A rectangular prism has 8 vertices. Each vertex is formed by the intersection of three edges. In a rectangular prism, there are three pairs of parallel edges, and each pair has two vertices at each end. Therefore, each pair contributes 2 vertices, resulting in a total of 6 vertices from the parallel edges. Additionally, there are two more vertices formed by the remaining edges, giving a total of 8 vertices.

Submit
31) A square is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles and 4 congruent sides.

The object shown below is a square.

Explanation

The given statement is false because the object shown below does not have 4 congruent sides. In order for an object to be a square, all four sides must be of equal length. Since we cannot determine the lengths of the sides from the given information, we cannot conclude that the object is a square. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Explanation

A polyhedron is a geometric solid that is made out of polygons. Unlike a circle or a sphere, which are curved shapes, a polyhedron is made up of flat surfaces called polygons. A cube is a specific type of polyhedron that has six square faces. Therefore, the correct answer is polyhedron.

Submit
38) The pentagons in this image are congruent.

Explanation

The statement "The pentagons in this image are congruent" is false because the image does not provide any information or evidence to support the claim that the pentagons are congruent. Without any given measurements or angles, it is impossible to determine if the pentagons in the image are congruent or not. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit

Enter your answer as a single whole number with no extra spaces.

Explanation

A hexagonal prism has 2 hexagonal faces and 6 rectangular faces, making a total of 8 faces.

Submit
40) Prisms have 2 parallel faces connected together by rectangles. How many vertices does this hexagonal prism have? Enter your answer as a single whole number with no extra spaces.

Explanation

A hexagonal prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel hexagonal faces connected by rectangular faces. Each hexagonal face has 6 vertices, and there are 2 hexagonal faces, so the total number of vertices is 6 + 6 = 12.

Submit
41) What is the best name for the two objects shown below?

Explanation

The best name for the two objects shown below is trapezoids. This is because trapezoids are quadrilaterals with one pair of parallel sides, which matches the shape of the objects in the image. Squares have equal sides and right angles, which the objects do not have. Parallelograms have opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, which is not the case for the objects. Rhombuses have equal sides, but their opposite angles are not equal, unlike the objects. Therefore, trapezoids is the most appropriate name for the objects.

Submit
42) "Regular" polygons are polygons with congruent sides and congruent angles.

Which of the following is a regular polygon?



Explanation

A regular polygon is a polygon that has congruent sides and congruent angles. In the given options, only option C is a regular polygon because all its sides are congruent and all its angles are congruent. Option A, B, and D do not have congruent sides or congruent angles, so they are not regular polygons.

Submit
43) If folded together to form a solid, this 3D net would become a ...

Explanation

The 3D net provided in the question consists of two congruent triangular faces at the top and bottom, connected by three rectangular faces on the sides. When folded along the edges, these rectangular faces will come together to form the lateral faces of a prism, while the triangular faces will become the bases. Therefore, the correct answer is a triangular prism.

Submit
44) A rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides.

Which of the following is a true statement.

Explanation

By definition, every square is rhombus because squares MUST have 4 congruent sides. Rectangles and parallelograms CAN also be rhombii if they have 4 congruents sides.

Submit
45) The squares in this image are congruent.

Explanation

The statement "The squares in this image are congruent" is false because the image does not provide any information about the squares. Without any specific measurements or characteristics mentioned, it is not possible to determine if the squares in the image are congruent or not. Therefore, the answer is false.

Submit
46) Which of the following is true about triangular prisms?

Explanation

A triangular prism is a three-dimensional shape that has two triangular bases and three rectangular faces. Each triangular base has three edges, and the three rectangular faces have six edges. Therefore, a triangular prism has a total of 9 edges. The triangular prism also has six vertices, where the edges meet. The five faces consist of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular faces.

Submit
47) How many edges does a cube have?

Explanation

A cube is a three-dimensional shape with six square faces. Each face of the cube is connected to four edges, and there are six faces in total. Therefore, each face contributes four edges, resulting in a total of 24 edges. However, each edge is shared by two faces, so we need to divide the total number of edges by 2 to avoid counting them twice. Hence, a cube has 12 edges.

Submit
48) All of the objects below are polyhedrons.

Explanation

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure with flat faces, straight edges, and sharp corners or vertices. Since all of the objects mentioned in the question are polyhedrons, the answer is true.

Submit
49) How many edges does the pentagonal pyramid shown below have?

Explanation

A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base and five triangular faces. Each triangular face shares an edge with the pentagonal base, resulting in five edges. Additionally, each triangular face shares an edge with another triangular face, resulting in five more edges. Therefore, the pentagonal pyramid shown below has a total of 10 edges.

Submit
50) Prisms have 2 parallel faces connected together by rectangles.

How many edges does this hexagonal prism have?

Enter your answer as a single whole number with no extra spaces.


Explanation

A hexagonal prism has 6 rectangular faces and 2 hexagonal faces. Each rectangular face has 4 edges, and each hexagonal face has 6 edges. Therefore, the total number of edges in a hexagonal prism is 6 * 4 + 2 * 6 = 24 + 12 = 36. However, since each edge is shared by two faces, we need to divide the total by 2 to get the actual number of unique edges. Therefore, the hexagonal prism has 36 / 2 = 18 edges.

Submit
51) What is the best name for object A?

Explanation

A square pyramid is the best name for object A because it has a square base and triangular faces that meet at a single point, forming a pyramid shape. The other options, such as triangular pyramid, hexagonal pyramid, and decagonal pyramid, do not accurately describe the shape of object A.

Submit
