All questions of Geometrical Shapes for Class 3 Exam

What is the shape of Matchbox?
  • a)
    cuboid
  • b)
    cube
  • c)
    rectangle
  • d)
    square
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered
The shape of a matchbox is typically a rectangular cuboid or simply a cuboid. It has six rectangular faces, with opposite faces being equal in size.
Thus, the correct shape is a cuboid.

What shape are the faces of a cube?
  • a)
    circle                                    
  • b)
    triangle
  • c)
    square                  
  • d)
    pentagon
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Cube
A cube is a three-dimensional geometric shape that has distinct characteristics. To understand why the correct answer is option 'C' (square), let’s break down the properties of a cube.
Definition of a Cube
- A cube is defined as a solid object with six equal square faces.
- Each face of the cube is a flat surface that forms part of its boundary.
Characteristics of Cube Faces
- Shape of Faces: All six faces of a cube are squares. This means that:
- Each face has four equal sides.
- Each angle in the square measures 90 degrees.
- Equal Dimensions: The sides of the squares are equal in length, making the cube symmetric.
Visual Representation
- Imagine a dice, which is a common example of a cube. Each side you see is a square face.
- When you look at a cube from any angle, you would see that the visible faces are squares.
Comparison with Other Options
- Circle: A circle has no corners or edges, which does not apply to a cube.
- Triangle: A triangle has three sides and three angles, which is different from the four-sided square.
- Pentagon: A pentagon has five sides and corners, which is also not relevant to the structure of a cube.
Conclusion
In summary, the faces of a cube are all squares, making option 'C' the correct answer. Understanding the properties of different geometric shapes helps in identifying their characteristics accurately.

What is the shape of a dice?
  • a)
    cube
  • b)
    cone
  • c)
    cuboid
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

A dice is a small, square-shaped object with six faces, and each face is a square. This shape is a cube, which has six equal square faces.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) Cube.

How many faces does a cone have?
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    0
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Glitz Classes answered
A cone has two faces: one curved surface and one flat circular base. The curved surface extends from the base to the apex, while the flat circular base is perpendicular to the curved surface.

How many edges does the following figure have?
  • a)
    12
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    6
  • d)
    4
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Freak Artworks answered
The shape is a rectangular prism. It has 12 edges. An edge is the line where two flat parts of the shape meet. So, when you count all the lines on the shape, you will find there are 12 edges in total.

See each of the following figures and choose the correct name of the shape. 
  • a)
    Circle
  • b)
    Cylinder
  • c)
    Sphere
  • d)
    Cone
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered
The shape shown in the image appears to have a smooth, round surface without any visible edges or vertices, which describes a sphere. A sphere is a perfectly round 3D shape, and the lines in the image suggest the curved nature of a sphere.
  • Option A (Circle) is 2D, not 3D.
  • Option B (Cylinder) has flat circular faces and a curved surface, which is not represented here.
  • Option D (Cone) has a circular base and a pointed top, which doesn't match the image either.
Thus, the correct answer is Option C: Sphere. Thank you for your patience!

Identify the figure which has 4 sides.
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
     
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Singh answered
A rectangle is the only shape in the given options that has 4 sides.
  • Option A (Triangle) has 3 sides.
  • Option B (Circle) has no sides.
  • Option C (Hexagon) has 6 sides.
  • Option D (Rectangle) has 4 sides, making it the correct answer.
Thus, the correct answer is Option D: Rectangle.
