Explanation:
Let’s go through each shape one by one and identify what solid it is and how many flat faces it has.
1) The first shape is a green die — that’s a
cube. A cube has 6 flat faces (all squares).
✔ So: cube, 6 faces.
2) The second shape is a yellow cylinder (like a can). A cylinder has 2 flat faces (the circular top and bottom) and 1 curved surface — but the question asks for *faces*, and in basic geometry for young students, only flat surfaces are counted as “faces”. So:
cylinder, 2 faces.
3) The third shape is a pyramid (looks like the Great Pyramid of Giza). This is a
square pyramid (base is a square, 4 triangular sides). It has 1 square base + 4 triangular faces =
5 faces.
✔ So: pyramid, 5 faces.
4) The fourth shape is a green sphere (like Earth or a ball). A sphere has no flat faces — it’s all curved. So:
sphere, 0 faces.
5) The fifth shape is a brown box — that’s a
rectangular prism (also called a cuboid). Like a shoebox. It has 6 flat faces: front/back, left/right, top/bottom.
✔ So: rectangular prism, 6 faces.
Double-check:
- Cube → 6 faces ✔️
- Cylinder → 2 flat faces ✔️
- Pyramid (square base) → 5 faces ✔️
- Sphere → 0 faces ✔️
- Rectangular prism → 6 faces ✔️
All correct.
Final Answer:
1) cube, 6
2) cylinder, 2
3) pyramid, 5
4) sphere, 0
5) rectangular prism, 6
