Identifying Key Features of 3D Shapes

What defines a prism in the context of 3D shapes?

• A shape that tapers to a point

• A 3D figure with two parallel and congruent base faces

• A shape with only one base

• A round 3D figure where every point on its surface is equidistant from the center

What distinguishes the height of a 3D figure in prisms?

• It is the longest side of the prism

• It can be on its side, connecting the bases

• It connects the base to the top

• It is always vertical

How is the height of a cylinder determined?

• The distance between any two points on the base

• The perpendicular distance from the base to the tip

• The distance that connects the circular bases

• The length of the edge of the base

In a cylinder, how is the diameter related to the radius?

• The radius is twice the diameter

• The diameter is equal to the radius

• The radius is half the diameter

• The diameter is half the radius

What makes a cone different from a prism?

• It is a round 3D figure

• It has a circular base and tapers to a point

• It has parallel and congruent bases

• It has two bases

How do you find the height of a cone?

• It is half the diameter of the base

• It is the distance from the base to the top

• It is the length around the base

• It is the distance from the tip to the base, measured along the side

How is the radius of a sphere related to its diameter?

• The radius is equal to the diameter

• The diameter is twice the radius

• The radius is twice the diameter

• There is no relation between the radius and diameter

Which of the following is true about the bases of a rectangular prism?

• Only the side faces can be bases

• Any two opposite faces can be considered as bases

• Only the top and bottom faces can be bases

• It does not have bases

What is the key feature of a triangular prism's base?

• It is always a rectangle

• It is always a circle

• It is always a triangle

• It can be any shape

Which statement is true about the bases in a triangular prism?

• The bases can be any parallel and congruent shapes

• The bases are circular

• The bases are always rectangular

• The bases are always triangular
