Let’s go step by step to match each 3D shape with its correct 2D face.

1. Cube → A cube has flat sides that are all squares. So, the 2D shape you trace from a cube is a square.
- The dotted line next to the cube is already drawn as a square — that matches!

2. Pyramid → This pyramid (a triangular pyramid) has triangular faces. So, the 2D shape you trace from one of its sides is a triangle.
- The dotted line next to it is a triangle — perfect match!

3. Sphere → A sphere is round like a ball. If you look at it from any side, it looks like a circle. So, the 2D shape is a circle.
- The dotted line is a circle — yes!

4. Prism → This is a rectangular prism (like a box). Its faces are rectangles. So, the 2D shape you trace is a rectangle.
- The dotted line is a rectangle — correct!

All the shapes are already correctly matched in the worksheet. You just need to trace the dotted lines to practice drawing them.

Final Answer:
The 2D shapes are already correctly matched:
- Cube → Square
- Pyramid → Triangle
- Sphere → Circle
- Prism → Rectangle
