Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Shapes ABC Order Worksheet
To solve this problem, we need to take all the shape names listed and arrange them in alphabetical order (A to Z).

Here is the list of words from the image:
circle, square, rhombus, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon, cube, cylinder, prism, pyramid, sphere, cone, box, kite, oval.

Let's sort them step by step:

1. box (starts with b)
2. circle (starts with c-i)
3. cone (starts with c-o)
4. cube (starts with c-u)
5. cylinder (starts with c-y)
6. decagon (starts with d)
7. heptagon (starts with h-e)
8. hexagon (starts with h-e-x... wait, heptagon vs hexagon. He-p-ta-gon vs He-x-a-gon. P comes before X, so heptagon is first) -> heptagon
9. hexagon
10. kite (starts with k)
11. nonagon (starts with n)
12. octagon (starts with o)
13. oval (starts with o-v... octagon vs oval. C comes before V, so octagon is first) -> octagon
14. oval
15. pentagon (starts with p-e)
16. prism (starts with p-r)
17. pyramid (starts with p-y... pentagon vs prism vs pyramid. E comes before R, R comes before Y. So: pentagon, prism, pyramid) -> pentagon, prism, pyramid
18. rectangle (starts with r-e)
19. rhombus (starts with r-h... rectangle vs rhombus. E comes before H, so rectangle is first) -> rectangle
20. rhombus
21. sphere (starts with s)
22. square (starts with s-q... sphere vs square. P comes before Q, so sphere is first) -> sphere
23. square
24. triangle (starts with t)

Wait, I missed some or miscounted. Let me re-list carefully and count to make sure I have exactly 20 items as shown on the worksheet.

Original list again:
- circle
- square
- rhombus
- rectangle
- triangle
- pentagon
- hexagon
- heptagon
- octagon
- nonagon
- decagon
- cube
- cylinder
- prism
- pyramid
- sphere
- cone
- box
- kite
- oval

That’s 20 words. Good.

Now let’s sort alphabetically:

Start with B:
→ box

C:
→ circle
→ cone
→ cube
→ cylinder

D:
→ decagon

H:
→ heptagon (h-e-p...)
→ hexagon (h-e-x...) → p before x → correct order

K:
→ kite

N:
→ nonagon

O:
→ octagon
→ oval → c before v → correct

P:
→ pentagon (p-e...)
→ prism (p-r...)
→ pyramid (p-y...) → e < r < y → correct

R:
→ rectangle (r-e...)
→ rhombus (r-h...) → e before h → correct

S:
→ sphere (s-p...)
→ square (s-q...) → p before q → correct

T:
→ triangle

Now let’s write them in order:

1. box
2. circle
3. cone
4. cube
5. cylinder
6. decagon
7. heptagon
8. hexagon
9. kite
10. nonagon
11. octagon
12. oval
13. pentagon
14. prism
15. pyramid
16. rectangle
17. rhombus
18. sphere
19. square
20. triangle

Double-checking each word against the original list — yes, all 20 are there and in perfect ABC order.

Final Answer:
1. box
2. circle
3. cone
4. cube
5. cylinder
6. decagon
7. heptagon
8. hexagon
9. kite
10. nonagon
11. octagon
12. oval
13. pentagon
14. prism
15. pyramid
16. rectangle
17. rhombus
18. sphere
19. square
20. triangle
