    polygons
  • d)
    shapes

Sudhir Mehta answered
A polygon is a 2 dimensional shape made up of straight line segments which are connected with each other, thus giving it a closed shape. A circle, square, rectangle, and triangle are some examples of two-dimensional shapes and these shapes can be drawn on paper.

A _________ is a shape that begins and ends at the same point?
  • a)
    triangle
  • b)
    parallelogram
  • c)
    circle
  • d)
    sphere
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
In geometry, a closed shape can be defined as a enclosed shape or figure whose line segments and/or curves are connected or meet. They start and end at the same point.
For example circle. 

Which solid figure has one square face and four triangular faces that share a common vertex?
  • a)
    sphere
  • b)
    cylinder
  • c)
    cone
  • d)
    pyramid
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
A pyramid is a solid whose base is a plane rectilinear figure whose side faces are triangles having a common vertex, called the vertex of the pyramid. 

What is the solid figure with six congruent square faces and all edges with the same length?
  • a)
    square
  • b)
    cube
  • c)
    cylinder
  • d)
    rectangular prism
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
A polyhedron is regular if its faces are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meet at each vertex. For example, a cube is a platonic solid because all six of its faces are congruent squares. There are five such solids– tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron.

The point at which two lines, line segments or rays meet to form an angle is called ___________.
  • a)
    an edge
  • b)
    a vertex
  • c)
    a point
  • d)
    a right angle
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
The vertex of an angle is the point where two rays begin or meet, where two line segments join or meet, where two lines intersect (cross), or any appropriate combination of rays, segments and lines that result in two straight "sides" meeting at one place.

A solid figure formed by two congruent parallel circles joined by a curved surface?
  • a)
    pyramid
  • b)
    rectangle
  • c)
    sphere
  • d)
    cylinder
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

A solid figure formed by two congruent parallel circles joined by a curved surface is called a cylinder.

Cylinder:
A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape that consists of two congruent parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface. The curved surface is formed by connecting all the points on the circumference of the two bases with vertical lines. The two bases are parallel and congruent, meaning they have the same size and shape.

Properties of a Cylinder:
- Bases: A cylinder has two circular bases that are parallel and congruent to each other. The bases are the top and bottom faces of the cylinder.
- Height: The height of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between the two bases. It is also the length of the vertical line connecting the centers of the two bases.
- Radius: The radius of a cylinder is the distance from the center of one of the bases to its circumference. Since the bases are congruent, they have the same radius.
- Curved Surface: The curved surface of a cylinder connects all the points on the circumferences of the two bases. It is formed by vertical lines that are perpendicular to the bases.

Example:
Consider a can of soda as an example of a cylinder. The top and bottom of the can are circular and have the same size and shape. These circular bases are connected by the curved surface of the can. The height of the can is the distance between the top and bottom, and the radius is the distance from the center of the circular bases to their circumferences.

In conclusion, a solid figure formed by two congruent parallel circles joined by a curved surface is called a cylinder. It is a three-dimensional shape with two circular bases and a curved surface connecting them.

What is the 3D figure that is shaped like a can?
  • a)
    cylinder
  • b)
    cube
  • c)
    sphere
  • d)
    pyramid
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
 
A cylinder is a three dimensional object with a circular base and straight parallel sides that looks similar to a can of coke.

Which 3D shape can roll in any direction?
  • a)
    cube
  • b)
    sphere
  • c)
    rectangular prism
  • d)
    polygon
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
Both a cylinder and a sphere will roll since they both contain a curved face. Spheres will roll in every direction, however, the cylinder will only roll in one direction when placed on its side.

What is a closed plane figure made of points that are the same distance from the center?
  • a)
    circle
  • b)
    square
  • c)
    rhombus
  • d)
    trapezoid
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Yashina Kapoor answered
A circle is a plane closed figure enclosed by a curve, having no sides and no corner (vertex). Every point in the curve is situated at equal distance from a definite point within the closed figure.

What is a solid, pointed figure with a flat, round base (usually a circle) that is joined to a vertex by a curved surface?
  • a)
    cone
  • b)
    sphere
  • c)
    cylinder
  • d)
    pyramid
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
A cone is a three-dimensional solid that has a circular base joined to a single point (called the vertex) by a curved side. You could also think of a cone as a “circular pyramid”.

What 2 D shape is a polygon with three sides?
  • a)
    pyramid
  • b)
    trapezoid
  • c)
    trolygon
  • d)
    triangle
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
A triangle is a three-sided polygon (2d Shape) which has three edges and three vertices. The sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

What is a closed plane figure with straight sides that are line segments?
  • a)
    ray
  • b)
    line segment
  • c)
    polygon
  • d)
    vertex
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
A polygon is a closed figure on a plane bounded by (straight) line segments as its sides. Where the two sides of a polygon intersect is called a vertex of the polygon.

What is the line segment where two faces of a solid figure intersect called?
  • a)
    vertex
  • b)
    side
  • c)
    face
  • d)
    edge
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
An edge is the line segment where two faces meet. You can see by looking at this cube that the faces intersect in a line. Many solid figures have more than one edge. A vertex is a point where several planes meet in a point.

What 2D shape has 2 pairs of parallel sides, 4 equal sides and 4 right angles?
  • a)
    rhombus
  • b)
    square
  • c)
    parallelogram
  • d)
    rectangle
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sudhir Mehta answered
 All have four sides and four vertices; the square and rectangle have two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles; the rectangle and kite have two pairs of equal length sides.
