Question

nets of 3-d shapes
which shape(s) could have this figure as a base?
image of a rectangle
options: cone, cylinder, pyramid, prism, sphere

Explanation:

• A cone has a circular base, so it can't have a rectangular base.
• A cylinder has circular bases, so it can't have a rectangular base.
• A pyramid can have a rectangular base (a rectangular pyramid).
• A prism has two congruent polygonal bases; a rectangular prism has rectangular bases.
• A sphere has no flat bases.

So the shapes that can have a rectangle as a base are pyramid and prism.

Answer:

pyramid, prism
