Explanation:
-
Solids: These are three-dimensional shapes with length, width, and height.
-
Cube: A solid with 6 square faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
-
Sphere: A perfectly round solid with no edges or vertices.
-
Pyramid: A solid with a polygonal base and triangular faces meeting at a common vertex.
-
Cylinder: A solid with two circular bases and a curved surface.
-
Rectangular Prism: A solid with 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
By matching the descriptions in the questions with the properties of the solids in the Word Box, we can arrive at the correct answers.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{1. rectangular prism, 2. cylinder, 3. sphere, 4. cylinder, 5. rectangular prism, 6. cube, 7. faces, 8. vertex, 9. vertex, 10. six, 11. eight, 12. twelve}
}
\]
