Question

Match the correct base shape to each prism. some cards may be used more than once.

Answer 1

Looking at figure A, we have a prism with a triangular base that looks like a right triangle.

Since the prism has a right triangular base, the base shape is a right triangle (shape 5).

Looking at figure B, we have a prism with a pentagonal base.

Since the prism has a pentagonal base, the base shape is a pentagon (shape 1).

Looking at figure C, we have a prism with a triangular base that looks like an equilateral triangle.

Since the prism has an equilateral triangle base, the base shape is an equilateral triangle.(shape 4).

Looking at figure D, we have a prism with a triangular base that looks like an equilateral triangle.

Since the prism has an equilateral triangle base, the base shape is an equilateral triangle.(shape 4).
