What type of form transformation in the figure shown above?
-
Dimensional transformation
-
Subtractive transformation
-
Additive transformation
-
None
Correct Answer
A. Subtractive transformationExplanation
NOTE: A form can be transformed by subtracting a portion of its volume. Depending on the extent of the subtractive process, the form can retain its initial identity or be transformed into a form of another family. For example, a cube can retain its identity as a cube even thought a portion of it is removed, or be transformed into a series of regular polyhedrons that begin to approximate sphere.Rate this question:

A polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular faces meeting at a common point or vertex?
-
Pyramid
-
Polygon
-
Cone
-
Hexagon
Correct Answer
A. PyramidExplanation
A polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangular faces meeting at a common point or vertex is called a pyramid. In a pyramid, the base can be any polygon, and the triangular faces connect the vertices of the base to the apex. This structure resembles the shape of a pyramid, hence the name. A cone is also a polyhedron with a circular base, but its faces are not triangular. A hexagon is a polygon, but it does not meet the criteria of having triangular faces meeting at a common vertex.Rate this question:
