Example Question #11 : Modeling With Geometry
Objects in the real world can be described in geometric shapes. What geometric shape describes a coffee mug without a handle?
Rectangle Prism
None of the other answers.
Prism
Sphere
Open Cylinder
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.
Example Question #12 : Modeling With Geometry
Objects in the real world can be described in geometric shapes. What geometric shape describes the rim of a basketball hoop?
Cylinder
Rectangle
Sphere
None of the other answers
Circle
Circle
A basketball hoop is constructed of a pole, a backboard, a rim, and a net that is attached to the rim. Since the question is asking for the geometric shape that describes the rim, recall that the rim of the basketball hoop has the geometric shape of a circle.
