Classify 3D Figures (Math TEKs 3.6A)

What is a prism?

• A 2D shape with three sides.

• A 3D figure with two identical bases connected by rectangular faces.

• A type of optical lens used to bend light.

• A solid figure with only one base.

What is a triangular prism?

• A prism with circular bases and two rectangular faces.

• A prism with triangular bases and three rectangular faces.

• A prism with square bases and four triangular faces.

• A prism with hexagonal bases and six rectangular faces.

What is a 3D figure?

• A shape that has two dimensions: length and width.

• A shape that has three dimensions: length, width, and height.

• A flat shape with no dimensions.

• A shape that only exists in a computer simulation.

What is a pyramid?

• A 3D figure with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a point called the apex.

• A flat 2D shape with four equal sides.

• A solid figure with a circular base and a single vertex at the top.

• A geometric figure that has only one face and no edges.

What are vertices?

• Vertices are the points where two or more edges meet in a 3D figure.

• Vertices are the flat surfaces of a 3D figure.

• Vertices are the lines connecting the edges of a 3D figure.

• Vertices are the angles formed by the edges of a 3D figure.

What is the difference between a prism and a pyramid?

• A prism has one base and triangular faces that meet at a point.

• A pyramid has two identical bases.

• A prism has two identical bases, while a pyramid has one base and triangular faces that meet at a point.

• A pyramid has rectangular faces that meet at a point.

How do you group 3D figures?

• By their color and texture

• By their characteristics, such as the number of faces, types of bases, or whether they have edges or vertices.

• By their size and weight

• By their temperature and material

How can you classify 3D figures?

• Based on their colors

• Based on their sizes

• Based on their shapes

• Based on their weights

Can a cylinder be classified as a prism?

• Yes, a cylinder can be classified as a prism because it has polygonal bases.

• No, a cylinder cannot be classified as a prism because it has circular bases, not polygonal bases.

• Yes, a cylinder is a type of prism with curved surfaces.

• No, a cylinder is not a prism because it has no bases.

What is a cube?

• A cube is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces.

• A cube is a special type of prism where all six faces are squares.

• A cube is a two-dimensional shape with four equal sides.

• A cube is a solid figure with eight triangular faces.
