Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Pyramids and Prisms worksheet
Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying each 3D shape in the image. The task is to label each shape as either a prism or a pyramid, and more specifically, identify the type based on the base.

---

🔷 Key Definitions:



- Prism: A solid with two identical bases (top and bottom) connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces.
- Named after the shape of its base: e.g., triangular prism, hexagonal prism.
- Pyramid: A solid with one base and triangular faces that meet at a common vertex (apex).
- Named after the shape of its base: e.g., square pyramid, pentagonal pyramid.

Now let’s go through each shape row by row:

---

🟨 Row 1:



1. Orange shape (left)
- Two hexagonal bases, connected by rectangles.
Hexagonal Prism

2. Red shape (middle)
- Triangular base, three triangular faces meeting at apex.
Triangular Pyramid

3. Pink shape (right)
- Triangle base, three triangular faces meeting at apex.
Triangular Pyramid (same as above)

> Note: Both middle and right shapes are triangular pyramids — just different orientations.

🟨 Row 2:



4. Orange shape (left)
- Four triangular faces, all meeting at one point.
Triangular Pyramid (tetrahedron)

5. Brown shape (middle)
- Six square faces, cube-like.
Cube (a special case of a square prism)

6. Red shape (right)
- Two octagonal bases, connected by rectangles.
Octagonal Prism

---

🟨 Row 3:



7. Green shape (left)
- One pentagonal base, triangular faces rising to a point.
Pentagonal Pyramid

8. Purple shape (middle)
- Two identical octagonal bases, connected by rectangles.
Octagonal Prism

9. Purple shape (right)
- One hexagonal base, triangular faces meeting at apex.
Hexagonal Pyramid

---

🟨 Row 4:



10. Blue shape (left)
- One pentagonal base, triangular faces meeting at apex.
Pentagonal Pyramid

11. Purple shape (middle)
- Two rectangular bases, connected by rectangles.
Rectangular Prism (or Cuboid)

12. Blue shape (right)
- Triangular base, but only one triangle visible? Wait — it has a triangular base and three triangular faces meeting at a point.
Triangular Pyramid

Wait — actually, let's double-check this last one.

But looking closely: it appears to have a triangular base and three triangular faces converging to an apex. So yes — Triangular Pyramid.

But wait — some might confuse it with a triangular prism, but no: it has only one base, and all sides are triangles meeting at a point → Pyramid.

Final Labels:



| Shape | Label |
|------|-------|
| 1 | Hexagonal Prism |
| 2 | Triangular Pyramid |
| 3 | Triangular Pyramid |
| 4 | Triangular Pyramid |
| 5 | Cube (Square Prism) |
| 6 | Octagonal Prism |
| 7 | Pentagonal Pyramid |
| 8 | Octagonal Prism |
| 9 | Hexagonal Pyramid |
| 10 | Pentagonal Pyramid |
| 11 | Rectangular Prism |
| 12 | Triangular Pyramid |

---

🔚 Summary:



We identified each shape using:
- Number of bases (prisms have 2, pyramids have 1),
- Shape of base (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon),
- And applied naming rules accordingly.

All shapes are now correctly labeled!
