Example Question #1 : Use Geometric Shapes To Describe Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Mg.A.1
Identify all of the different shapes that make up the following figure of a two-dimensional wagon.
Circle, Square, Parallelogram
Parallelogram, Rectangle
Rectangle, Circle
Rectangle, Circle, Quadrilateral
None of the answers
Rectangle, Circle, Quadrilateral
In the world around us, all figures can be looked at in geometric shapes.
Looking at the following two-dimensional wagon,
the figure can be broken down into three different shapes. The body of the wagon is a rectangle, the wheels are seen geometrically as circles and the handle is a quadrilateral.
Recall that to be a square, the quadrilateral has to have four equal side lengths.
A parallelogram must have opposite parallel sides, this particular figure doesn't give enough information to determine whether the handle is a parallelogram.
A quadrilateral is a more correct statement as it describes a figure with four sides.
Therefore, the correct answer is, "Rectangle, Circle, Quadrilateral".
Example Question #1 : Modeling With Geometry
Identify all of the different shapes that make up the following figure of a two-dimensional flagpole.
None of the other answers
Square, Triangle
Rectangle, Triangle
Square, Trapezoid
Rectangle, Trapezoid
Rectangle, Triangle
In the world around us, all figures can be looked at in geometric shapes.
Looking at the two-dimensional flagpole,
the flagpole can be broken down into two geometric shapes. The pole portion of the flagpole can be described as a rectangle and the flag is in the shape of a triangle.
Example Question #1 : Use Geometric Shapes To Describe Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Mg.A.1
Identify all of the different shapes that make up the following figure of a two-dimensional stop light.
Square, Circle
Rectangle, Triangle
Rectangle, Trapezoid
Rectangle, Circle
None of the other answers
Rectangle, Circle
In the world around us, all figures can be looked at in geometric shapes.
Looking at the two-dimensional stop light,
the figure can be broken down into two geometric shapes. The outside portion of the stop light is a rectangle and the lights are in the form of circles.
Example Question #2 : Modeling With Geometry
Identify all of the different shapes that make up the following figure of a two-dimensional non traditional stop sign.
None of the other answers
Octagon, Rectangle
Hexagon, Octagon
Rectangle, Square
Hexagon, Rectangle
Hexagon, Rectangle
In the world around us, all figures can be looked at in geometric shapes.
Looking at the two-dimensional non traditional stop sign,
the figure can be broken down into two geometric shapes. It is important to point out that this stop sign is a non traditional one. Normal stop signs are octagons which have eight sides. This particular stop side only has six sides and is therefore a hexagon. Therefore, this non traditional stop sign can be broken down into a hexagon and a rectangle.
Example Question #3 : Use Geometric Shapes To Describe Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Mg.A.1
Objects in the real world can be described in geometric shapes. What geometric shape describes a water silo?
Cylinder
Sphere
Triangle Prism
None of the other answers
Rectangle Prism
Cylinder
In the three-dimensional world a water silo has a bottom and top in the shape of a circle. The three-dimensional connection between the top and the bottom creates a cylinder. Therefore, the geometric shape that best describes the silo is a cylinder.
Example Question #5 : Modeling With Geometry
Objects in the real world can be described in geometric shapes. What geometric shape describes a basketball?
Circular Prism
Rectangle
Cylinder
Circle
Sphere
Sphere
A basketball is a three-dimensional object that when cut down the middle has a circular base. The geometric shape that describes a basketball is known as a sphere.
Example Question #3 : Use Geometric Shapes To Describe Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Mg.A.1
Sally orders a pair of shoes from an online store. The box that the shoes arrived in can be described as what geometric shape?
Rectangular Prism
Cylinder
Triangular Prism
None of the others.
Sphere
Rectangular Prism
A box in three-dimensional space can be describes as either a cube or a rectangular prism depending on the side lengths. Since rectangular prism is the only option available, this is the best option. Most shoe boxes in general are rectangular prisms since shoes are longer than they are wide.
Example Question #4 : Use Geometric Shapes To Describe Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Mg.A.1
Identify all of the different shapes that make up the following figure of a two-dimensional snowman.
Circle
Line
Circle, Line
None of the other answers.
Oval, Triangle
Circle, Line
In the world around us, all figures can be looked at in geometric shapes.
Looking at the two-dimensional snowman,
the figure can be broken down into one main geometric shape, a circle. The base, torso, and head of the snowman are all circles and the arms are lines. Therefore, the geometric shapes of the two-dimensional snowman are circles and lines.
Example Question #5 : Use Geometric Shapes To Describe Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsg Mg.A.1
Identify all of the different shapes that make up the following figure of a three-dimensional open box.
Rectangular Prism, Rectangle
Rectangular Prism, Cube
Cube
Cube, Rectangle
None of the other answers
Rectangular Prism, Rectangle
In the world around us, all figures can be looked at in geometric shapes.
Looking at the three-dimensional open box,
two figure can be broken down into two main shapes, one which is a three-dimensional shape and the other is a two-dimensional shape. The box itself can be described as a rectangular prism. The lid of the box, which is up and thus making the box open is a rectangle.
Example Question #431 : High School: Geometry
Objects in the real world can be described in geometric shapes. What geometric shape describes a coffee mug without a handle?
Open Cylinder
Sphere
Rectangle Prism
None of the other answers.
Prism
Open Cylinder
In the three-dimensional world a coffee mug without a handle has a bottom and top in the shape of a circle. The three-dimensional connection between the top and the bottom creates a cylinder. Therefore, the geometric shape that best describes the coffee mug is an open cylinder since there is no top on the coffee mug.
