To solve this problem, we need to match each 3D shape on the left with its correct "net" on the right. A net is a flat pattern that can be folded to make the 3D shape.
Let's go through them one by one:
1.
Cube: This is a box shape with 6 square faces.
* Look for a net with 6 squares arranged in a way that they can fold into a cube.
*
Net C has 6 squares in a cross-like shape (specifically, a column of 4 with one on each side). This is a classic cube net.
* So,
1 matches with C.
2.
Square Pyramid: This shape has a square base and 4 triangular sides that meet at a point.
* Look for a net with 1 square and 4 triangles attached to the sides of the square.
*
Net A shows a central square with 4 triangles attached to its sides. When folded up, these triangles meet at a point.
* So,
2 matches with A.
3.
Rectangular Prism (Cuboid): This is like a stretched-out box. It has 6 rectangular faces.
* Look for a net with rectangles.
*
Net B consists of several rectangles arranged in a strip with two smaller ones on the ends. If you fold this, it makes a long box shape.
* So,
3 matches with B.
4.
Triangular Pyramid (Tetrahedron): This shape is made entirely of 4 triangles. All faces are triangles.
* Look for a net made only of triangles.
*
Net E is made of 4 small triangles connected together. Folding them up creates a pyramid with a triangular base.
* So,
4 matches with E.
5.
Cylinder: This shape has two circular bases and one curved rectangular side.
* Look for a net with two circles and a rectangle.
*
Net F shows a large rectangle with two circles attached to the top and bottom (shown with little tabs for gluing). Rolling the rectangle makes the tube, and the circles cover the ends.
* So,
5 matches with F.
6.
Triangular Prism: This shape looks like a tent or a Toblerone bar. It has two triangular ends and three rectangular sides.
* Look for a net with 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.
*
Net D has three rectangles in a row and two triangles attached to the sides of the middle rectangle. Folding the rectangles up and the triangles over creates the prism.
* So,
6 matches with D.
Summary of Matches:
1. Cube → C
2. Square Pyramid → A
3. Rectangular Prism → B
4. Triangular Pyramid → E
5. Cylinder → F
6. Triangular Prism → D
Final Answer:
1-C, 2-A, 3-B, 4-E, 5-F, 6-D
