To solve this problem, we need to match the 2D "nets" (the flat patterns on the left) with the correct 3D shapes (the solid figures on the right). A net is what a shape looks like when you unfold it and lay it flat.
Here is the step-by-step matching process:
1.
Cube:
*
Net: The first net at the top left is a cross shape made of 6 squares. This is the classic net for a cube.
*
Shape: It matches the
Cube (the box with all equal square sides) at the top right.
2.
Cuboid:
*
Net: The fourth net down on the left is a long strip of rectangles with two smaller squares attached to the sides. When folded, this makes a rectangular box.
*
Shape: It matches the
Cuboid (the long rectangular box) second from the top on the right.
3.
Square-based pyramid:
*
Net: The second net down on the left has a square in the middle with four triangles attached to its sides. When you fold the triangles up, they meet at a point.
*
Shape: It matches the
Square-based pyramid (the shape with a square bottom and triangular sides meeting at a peak) third from the top on the right.
4.
Triangular prism:
*
Net: The third net down on the left consists of three rectangles in a row with a triangle on each end. Folding the rectangles forms the sides, and the triangles become the ends.
*
Shape: It matches the
Triangular prism (the shape that looks like a tent or a wedge) at the very bottom right.
5.
Tetrahedron (triangular based pyramid):
*
Net: The fifth net down on the left is made of four triangles connected together. One is in the center, and three surround it.
*
Shape: It matches the
Tetrahedron (the pyramid with a triangular base) second from the bottom on the right.
6.
Hexagonal prism:
*
Net: The last net at the bottom left has a hexagon (6-sided shape) in the center surrounded by six rectangles, with another hexagon attached to one of them.
*
Shape: It matches the
Hexagonal prism (the tall shape with hexagon tops and bottoms) fourth from the top on the right.
Final Answer:
-
Cube matches the cross-shaped net (top left) and the cube shape (top right).
-
Cuboid matches the long rectangular net (4th from top left) and the long box shape (2nd from top right).
-
Square-based pyramid matches the net with a central square and 4 triangles (2nd from top left) and the pyramid shape with a square base (3rd from top right).
-
Triangular prism matches the net with 3 rectangles and 2 triangles (3rd from top left) and the wedge/tent shape (bottom right).
-
Tetrahedron matches the net with 4 triangles (5th from top left) and the triangular pyramid shape (2nd from bottom right).
-
Hexagonal prism matches the net with hexagons and rectangles (bottom left) and the hexagonal column shape (4th from top right).
