Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you've provided shows 3-D shapes along with a table that needs to be filled based on specific properties of those shapes.
Let's break this down:
The table has these five properties:
- No faces with four right angles
- Only one face with four right angles
- More than one face with four right angles
- Three edges at each vertex
- More than three edges at one or more vertices
The shapes listed in the image are:
- A: Cube
- B: Square-based pyramid
- C: Triangular prism
- D: Tetrahedron
- E: Octahedron
- F: Hexagonal prism
- G: Cuboid
- H: Pentagonal prism
Filling the table:
-
No faces with four right angles
- This applies to shapes with triangular or polygonal faces, so:
D (Tetrahedron), E (Octahedron)
- This applies to shapes with triangular or polygonal faces, so:
-
Only one face with four right angles
- This would apply to pyramids with square bases:
B (Square-based pyramid)
- This would apply to pyramids with square bases:
-
More than one face with four right angles
- This applies to shapes with multiple rectangular faces:
A (Cube), G (Cuboid)
- This applies to shapes with multiple rectangular faces:
-
Three edges at each vertex
- This is a property of regular polyhedra with triangular faces:
D (Tetrahedron), E (Octahedron)
- This is a property of regular polyhedra with triangular faces:
-
More than three edges at one or more vertices
- This applies to prisms and more complex polyhedra:
F (Hexagonal prism), H (Pentagonal prism), C (Triangular prism)
- This applies to prisms and more complex polyhedra:
Would you like more details on how these shapes were categorized, or do you have any other questions? Here are five related questions to expand the discussion:
- How do right angles define the properties of a shape?
- Can you classify other prisms based on their properties?
- What makes polyhedra with triangular faces distinct from other 3D shapes?
- How can we use vertices and edges to identify different prisms?
- Why are cubes considered the simplest example of a shape with right angles?
Tip: When analyzing 3-D shapes, always check the number of vertices, edges, and the types of faces for quick classification.
