Rajveer Chavan answered
**Explanation:**

A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape that consists of two circular bases and a curved surface connecting the bases. Let's break down the different parts of a cylinder to understand the number of faces it has.

1. **Bases:** A cylinder has two circular bases, one at the top and one at the bottom. The bases are flat and have the shape of a circle. Each base is considered a face of the cylinder.

2. **Curved Surface:** The curved surface of a cylinder is not considered a face. It is a single continuous surface that wraps around the cylinder, connecting the two bases. The curved surface does not have any distinct edges or faces.

Therefore, the number of faces of a cylinder is equal to the number of circular bases it has, which is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is option A) 2.

Understanding the Rectangular Prism
A rectangular prism, also known as a cuboid, is a three-dimensional geometric shape with six rectangular faces. It is a special type of polyhedron and has specific characteristics that define its structure.
Key Features of a Rectangular Prism
- Faces: A rectangular prism has 6 faces, all of which are rectangles.
- Edges: It has 12 edges, which are the line segments where two faces meet.
- Vertices: The key focus here is the vertices.
What are Vertices?
- Vertices are the points where edges meet.
- In a rectangular prism, these points are the corners of the shape.
Counting the Vertices
- To find the number of vertices in a rectangular prism:
- Consider that each face has 4 corners.
- However, since the prism has 6 faces, some corners are shared between multiple faces.
- Specifically, each vertex is counted where three edges meet.
Final Count of Vertices
- A rectangular prism has a total of 8 vertices.
- Visualize this by imagining a box; each corner of the box represents one vertex.
Therefore, the correct answer to how many vertices a rectangular prism has is option 'A' - 8.

Identify the false statement from the following.
  • a)
    A cuboid has 3 pairs of opposite faces.
  • b)
    The number of vertices of a cube is 6.  
  • c)
    All sides of a square are equal.
  • d)
    A cuboid is a three dimensional figure.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered
The number of vertices in a cube is 8.
The statement regarding the number of vertices in a cube is incorrect. Here are the details:
  • A cube has 8 vertices.
  • Each vertex is a point where three edges meet.
  • This makes the cube a type of cuboid with equal edge lengths.
Thus, the correct information is that a cube contains 8 vertices, not 6.

Number of Faces of a Square Pyramid

A square pyramid is a three-dimensional geometric shape that consists of a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. To determine the number of faces of a square pyramid, we need to count all the flat surfaces that make up the shape.

Explanation:

A square pyramid has the following flat surfaces:

1. Square Base: The square base of the pyramid is a flat surface with four equal sides. It is the bottom face of the pyramid and is in the shape of a square.

2. Four Triangular Faces: Each of the four triangular faces is a flat surface that connects one of the four corners of the square base to the apex of the pyramid. These triangular faces are isosceles triangles, meaning they have two equal sides.

Therefore, the number of faces of a square pyramid is the sum of the square base and the four triangular faces.

Calculation:

1. Square Base: 1 face
2. Triangular Faces: 4 faces

Adding these together, we get:

1 + 4 = 5

Therefore, a square pyramid has a total of 5 faces.

Conclusion:

The correct answer is option A) 5. A square pyramid has 5 faces, which include the square base and four triangular faces.

The number of triangular faces of a rectangular pyramid is _______.
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    3
  • c)
    2
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Number of Triangular Faces of a Rectangular Pyramid

A rectangular pyramid is a solid figure that has a rectangular base and triangular faces that meet at a common vertex. To determine the number of triangular faces of a rectangular pyramid, we need to understand its structure and properties.

Structure of a Rectangular Pyramid
- A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which means it has four sides that are equal in length and four right angles.
- From each vertex of the rectangular base, there is a triangular face that extends upward to meet at a common point called the apex or vertex of the pyramid.
- The triangular faces are slanted and have three sides, making them triangles.

Counting the Triangular Faces
To count the number of triangular faces of a rectangular pyramid, we need to consider the number of triangular faces that originate from the vertices of the rectangular base.

- Each vertex of the rectangular base has a triangular face extending from it.
- Since a rectangular base has four vertices, there are four triangular faces originating from these vertices.

Therefore, the number of triangular faces of a rectangular pyramid is 4.

Conclusion
In a rectangular pyramid, there are four triangular faces that originate from the vertices of the rectangular base. Thus, the correct answer is option A) 4.

Kiran Bajaj answered
In the case of a cuboid this gives 6 + 8 = 12 + 2; that is, like a cube, a cuboid has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. Along with the rectangular cuboids, any paralle lepiped is a cuboid of this type, as is a square frustum (the shape formed by truncation of the apex of a square pyramid).

Understanding the Structure of a Cylinder
A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape that has distinct features, which are important to understand when discussing its properties.
Faces of a Cylinder
- A cylinder consists of two circular bases.
- These bases are parallel to each other and are connected by a curved surface that wraps around the sides.
Counting the Faces
- The two circular bases are counted as separate faces.
- The curved surface that connects these bases does not count as a face in the same way that flat surfaces do in polyhedra.
Conclusion on Faces
- Therefore, the total number of faces on a cylinder is 3:
- 2 circular faces (top and bottom)
- 1 curved face (the side)
So, the correct answer to the question about the number of faces of a cylinder is option 'B', which is 3.
Visual Representation
When visualizing a cylinder:
- Imagine a can or a tube.
- Notice how it has two ends (the circular bases) and wraps around (the curved surface).
Understanding this helps clarify why we count a cylinder as having three faces, making it easier to differentiate between various three-dimensional shapes.

A solid object when seen from one side, looks like this.  The same solid, when viewed from top, looks like this.  Which of these shapes could it be?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

To determine the possible shape of the solid object, consider the following observations:
  • The object has a distinct top view and a side view.
  • From the side, the shape appears to have a specific outline that must match the profiles of the potential options.
  • From the top, the shape should also conform to the outline presented in the second image.
The analysis of the options reveals:
  • Examine each option for correspondence with the side and top views.
  • Identify any shapes that match the unique contours seen from both perspectives.
By cross-referencing the views with the options, the correct shape can be determined based on the matching characteristics. This methodical approach ensures that the chosen option accurately reflects the solid object in both views.

The number of edges of a rectangular pyramid is _______.
  • a)
    21
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    7
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the number of edges of a rectangular pyramid, we need to understand the structure of a rectangular pyramid and count the number of edges it has.

A rectangular pyramid is a three-dimensional shape with a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex or vertex. It can be visualized as a pyramid with a rectangular base.

Let's break down the structure of a rectangular pyramid to count its edges:

1. Base:
- A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base.
- A rectangle has four sides.
- Each side of the rectangle is an edge of the base.
- Therefore, the base of a rectangular pyramid has 4 edges.

2. Triangular Faces:
- A rectangular pyramid has four triangular faces.
- Each triangular face is formed by connecting one vertex (apex) to the three vertices of the base.
- Each triangular face has three edges.
- Therefore, the total number of edges from the triangular faces is 4 faces × 3 edges = 12 edges.

3. Apex:
- The apex of a rectangular pyramid is a single point where all the triangular faces meet.
- The apex does not have any edges.

Now, let's sum up the edges:

- Base edges: 4 edges
- Triangular faces edges: 12 edges
- Apex edges: 0 edges

Total edges = Base edges + Triangular faces edges + Apex edges
= 4 + 12 + 0
= 16 edges

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - 8.
