Math Problem Statement

Match each shape to its name.

Solution

To match each shape to its correct name, let's go through each shape one by one:

  1. Shape A: This is a triangular-based pyramid (a tetrahedron). The base is a triangle, and all other faces are also triangles.

  2. Shape B: This is another triangular-based pyramid. It has a triangular base and three triangular sides.

  3. Shape C: This is a triangular prism. It has two triangular bases and three rectangular faces connecting them.

  4. Shape D: This is a square-based pyramid. It has a square base and four triangular faces meeting at a single vertex.

  5. Shape E: This is a cube. All faces are squares and of the same size.

Matching the names:

  • A: Triangular-based pyramid
  • B: Triangular-based pyramid
  • C: Triangular prism
  • D: Square-based pyramid
  • E: Cube
