Question

question 1 of 10

cones and polyhedrons both have only one base.

a. true

b. false

Explanation:

Analyze the definition of a cone

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (usually circular) to a point called the apex. Therefore, a cone has exactly one base.

Analyze the definition of a polyhedron

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and sharp corners or vertices. Polyhedrons include shapes like prisms (which have two bases) and pyramids (which have one base). Since prisms are polyhedrons and have two bases, it is false that polyhedrons in general have only one base.

Evaluate the statement

The statement asserts that "Cones and polyhedrons both have only one base." Since polyhedrons like prisms have two bases, this statement is false.

Answer:

• A. True
• B. False (Correct answer)
