Let's solve each of the first four questions from your quiz step by step and explain the reasoning.
---
Question 1:
How many faces does the shape below have?
The shape shown is a
cube.
A cube has:
- 6 faces (top, bottom, front, back, left, right)
- All faces are squares
- Each face is a flat surface
✔ Answer: D) 6

Question 2:
What is this 3D solid figure called?
The shape shown is a
rectangular prism. It has:
- 6 rectangular faces
- Opposite faces are equal
- It’s like a box, not necessarily a cube (since sides may differ in length)
Note:
- A
square is 2D
- A
rectangle is also 2D
- A
triangular prism has triangular bases and three rectangular faces
✔ Answer: C) Rectangular prism
---
Question 3:
What shape is this?
The shape has:
- Two triangular bases (on the top and bottom)
- Three rectangular lateral faces connecting the triangles
This is a
triangular prism.
Let’s eliminate others:
-
Cube: All faces are squares → no
-
Rectangular pyramid: Has a rectangular base and triangular faces meeting at a point → no
-
Cone: Curved surface with circular base → no
✔ Answer: B) Triangular Prism
---
Question 4:
Number of Faces?
The shape shown is a
hexagonal prism.
It has:
- 2 hexagonal bases (top and bottom)
- 6 rectangular lateral faces (one for each side of the hexagon)
So total faces = 2 (bases) + 6 (sides) =
8 faces
✔ Answer: 8
*(Note: This question doesn’t list options, but based on the image, it's asking for the number of faces — so answer is
8.)*

✔ Final Answers:
1.
D) 6
2.
C) Rectangular prism
3.
B) Triangular Prism
4.
8 faces
