Let’s go through each shape one by one and match it to the correct name from the list.
We have these names to choose from:
- cuboid
- sphere
- prism
- pyramid
- cone
- cylinder
Now, let’s look at each numbered shape:
1) This is a round ball — like a basketball. That’s called a
sphere.
2) This has a flat circle base and comes to a point on top. That’s a
cone.
3) This shape has two triangle ends and three rectangle sides. It’s a
prism (specifically a triangular prism).
4) This is like a can — round on the sides with flat circles on top and bottom. That’s a
cylinder.
5) This has two hexagon ends and six rectangle sides. Still a
prism (hexagonal prism).
6) This has a square base and four triangle sides meeting at a point. That’s a
pyramid.
7) Another can-shaped object — yellow this time. Still a
cylinder.
8) This has a square base and four triangle sides — same as #6. That’s a
pyramid.
9) This looks like a die — all sides are squares. It’s a
cube, but since “cube” isn’t in our list, we use the closest matches:
cuboid, cube or prism. (A cube is a special kind of cuboid and also a prism.)
10) This has two pentagon ends and five rectangle sides. That’s a
prism (pentagonal prism).
11) This has a triangle base and three triangle sides meeting at a point. That’s a
pyramid (triangular pyramid).
12) This is like a box — longer than it is tall. All faces are rectangles. That’s a
cuboid or prism.
✔ Now, let’s write down the answers clearly:
Final Answer:
1) sphere
2) cone
3) prism
4) cylinder
5) prism
6) pyramid
7) cylinder
8) pyramid
9) cuboid, cube or prism
10) prism
11) pyramid
12) cuboid or prism
