Let’s go through each row one by one and match the 3D shape to the real object.
---
Row 1:
-
First object: Traffic cone → It has a round base and comes to a point on top. That’s a
cone.
- Options: Cone / Cube / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Cone
-
Second object: Basketball → It’s perfectly round in all directions. That’s a
sphere.
- Options: Cone / Sphere / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Sphere
-
Third object: Soda can → It has flat circular tops and bottoms, and straight sides. That’s a
cylinder.
- Options: Cylinder / Cone / Cube → Correct answer:
Cylinder
---
Row 2:
-
First object: Cheese block with holes → It’s box-shaped with 6 square faces. That’s a
cube.
- Options: Cone / Cube / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Cube
-
Second object: Layered cake → The bottom part is round and flat-topped — that’s like a
cylinder. (Even though it has layers, the overall shape is cylindrical.)
- Options: Sphere / Cube / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Cylinder
-
Third object: Party hat → Pointy top, round base — that’s a
cone.
- Options: Cone / Sphere / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Cone
---
Row 3:
-
First object: Ice cream cone → The waffle part is shaped like a cone. (The ice cream scoop is a sphere, but the question says “match the shape” — and the main container is the cone.)
- Options: Cone / Sphere / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Cone
-
Second object: Cardboard box → Box-shaped, 6 rectangular/square faces → That’s a
cube (or sometimes called a rectangular prism, but here cube is the closest option).
- Options: Cone / Cube / Cylinder → Correct answer:
Cube
-
Third object: Two balloons on sticks → Each balloon is round — so they’re
spheres.
- Options: Sphere / Cone / Cube → Correct answer:
Sphere
---
Now let’s list the correct answers for each cell:
Row 1:
→ Cone, Sphere, Cylinder
Row 2:
→ Cube, Cylinder, Cone
Row 3:
→ Cone, Cube, Sphere
Final Answer:
Cone, Sphere, Cylinder, Cube, Cylinder, Cone, Cone, Cube, Sphere
