Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.
We are told to:
- Shade
all spheres yellow.
- Shade
all cubes green.
First, let’s remember what a
sphere and a
cube look like:
✔ A
sphere is a perfectly round 3D shape — like a ball. It has no flat sides or corners. In the picture, it will look like a circle with some shading to show it’s round (like a marble).
✔ A
cube is a 3D shape with 6 equal square faces — like a dice. All its sides are the same size, and all angles are right angles.
Now, let’s go through each shape in the image one by one (row by row):
---
Row 1:
1. First shape → Cube
✔ → shade GREEN
2. Second shape → Cylinder
✘ → not sphere or cube
3. Third shape → Diamond (2D rhombus)
✘ → not 3D, so not sphere or cube
4. Fourth shape → Rectangular prism
✘ → not a cube (sides not equal)
---
Row 2:
5. Fifth shape → Triangular prism
✘
6. Sixth shape → Sphere
✔ → shade YELLOW
7. Seventh shape → Cone
✘
8. Eighth shape → Cube
✔ → shade GREEN
---
Row 3:
9. Ninth shape → Pyramid
✘
10. Tenth shape → Cube
✔ → shade GREEN
11. Eleventh shape → Rectangular prism
✘
12. Twelfth shape → Sphere
✔ → shade YELLOW
---
Row 4:
13. Thirteenth shape → Sphere
✔ → shade YELLOW
14. Fourteenth shape → Cylinder (on side)
✘
15. Fifteenth shape → Tall rectangular prism
✘
16. Sixteenth shape → Cube
✔ → shade GREEN
---
So, let’s list them clearly:
🟡
Spheres to shade YELLOW:
- Row 2, position 2
- Row 3, position 4
- Row 4, position 1
🟩
Cubes to shade GREEN:
- Row 1, position 1
- Row 2, position 4
- Row 3, position 2
- Row 4, position 4
That’s 3 spheres and 4 cubes total.
Final Answer:
Shade these shapes:
→ Spheres (yellow): the 3 ball-shaped objects
→ Cubes (green): the 4 box-shaped objects with all sides equal
