Question

answer the questions about the solids below.
which figure shows a cone?
figure a
figure b
figure c
none
which figure shows a cube?
figure a
figure b
figure c
none
which figure shows a triangular pyramid?
figure a
figure b
figure c
none

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definitions

A triangular pyramid has a triangular base and triangular faces. A cone has a circular base and a curved surface tapering to a point. A cube has six square faces.

Step2: Analyze each figure

• Figure A: It has a triangular base and triangular faces, so it is a triangular pyramid.
• Figure B: It has a circular base and a curved surface tapering to a point, so it is a cone.
• Figure C: It has six square - like faces (assuming it is a cube - like structure), so it is a cube.

Answer:

1. Which figure shows a triangular pyramid? - Figure A
2. Which figure shows a cone? - Figure B
3. Which figure shows a cube? - Figure C
