Question

What shape is the match box?

Answer 1

Hint: Here we go through by analysing the match box and try to draw its image on the paper then by the properties of the shape we can determine the shape of the match box.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here first we draw the image of the match box and point out each corner.

Here by analysing the figure we can clearly see that this is in the shape of cuboid as we know that a cuboid is a three-dimensional shape with a length, width, and a height. The cuboid shape has six sides called faces. Each face of a cuboid is a rectangle, and all of a cuboid's corners (called vertices) are 90-degree angles. Ultimately, a cuboid has the shape of a rectangular box.
In the figure above, ADFE, DCEH, BCGH, ABFG, ABCD and EFGH are the 6 faces of a cuboid.
The edge of the cuboid is a line segment between any two adjacent vertices.
There are 12 edges, they are AB,AD,AF,HC,HE,HG,GF,GB,FE,BC,EF and CD and the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
The point of intersection of the 3 edges of a cuboid is called the vertex of a cuboid.
Hence we can say that the match box is in the shape of a cuboid.

Note: Whenever we face such a question first draw the diagram of that figure and then try to observe the figure then compare it with the shapes that we learn. By this we will get our shapes.
