I'll work through this problem step by step to find the properties of each 3D shape.
Let me analyze each shape:
1. Cube (already filled in as example)
- Faces: 6 ✓
- Edges: 12 ✓
- Vertices: 8 ✓
- Right angles on faces: 24 ✓
2. Triangular Prism
-
Faces: A triangular prism has 2 triangular faces (top and bottom) + 3 rectangular faces (sides) =
5 faces
-
Edges: Each triangle has 3 edges, so 2 triangles = 6 edges. Plus 3 vertical edges connecting them =
9 edges
-
Vertices: Each triangle has 3 vertices, so 2 triangles =
6 vertices
-
Right angles on faces: The 3 rectangular side faces each have 4 right angles = 3 × 4 =
12 right angles. The triangular faces don't have right angles (unless it's a right triangle, but we assume regular). So total =
12 right angles
3. Rectangular Prism (Cuboid)
-
Faces: Top, bottom, front, back, left, right =
6 faces
-
Edges: 4 edges on top + 4 edges on bottom + 4 vertical edges =
12 edges
-
Vertices: 4 corners on top + 4 corners on bottom =
8 vertices
-
Right angles on faces: All 6 faces are rectangles, each with 4 right angles = 6 × 4 =
24 right angles
4. Cylinder
-
Faces: 2 circular faces (top and bottom) + 1 curved surface =
3 faces (or sometimes counted as 2 if curved surface isn't counted separately)
-
Edges: 2 circular edges where the circles meet the curved surface =
2 edges
-
Vertices:
0 vertices (no corners)
-
Right angles on faces:
0 right angles (circles and curved surfaces have no right angles)
5. Square-based Pyramid
-
Faces: 1 square base + 4 triangular sides =
5 faces
-
Edges: 4 edges on the square base + 4 edges from base to apex =
8 edges
-
Vertices: 4 corners on the base + 1 apex =
5 vertices
-
Right angles on faces: The square base has 4 right angles. The triangular faces typically don't have right angles (unless specified). So =
4 right angles
Let me verify my calculations:
Triangular Prism: 5 faces, 9 edges, 6 vertices, 12 right angles ✓
Rectangular Prism: 6 faces, 12 edges, 8 vertices, 24 right angles ✓
Cylinder: 3 faces, 2 edges, 0 vertices, 0 right angles ✓
Square-based Pyramid: 5 faces, 8 edges, 5 vertices, 4 right angles ✓
Final Answer:
| Shape | Picture | Number of faces | Number of edges | Number of vertices | Number of right angles on faces |
