Question

Write the correct geometric name of the wall of a rondavel.
A) Cylinder
B) Cone
C) Square
D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: According to the question we have to choose the correct geometric name of the rondavel so, first of all we have to understand about the shape of the rondavel.
The rondavels are usually oval or round in shape and they are traditionally made with materials that can be locally found in raw form. The walls of rondavels are often constructed from stones.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Step 1: First of all we will consider the option $(A)$ which is cylinder and to determine the shape of rondavel we have to draw the cylinder as below:

As mentioned in the solution hint we can clearly say that the shape of rondavel is cylinder.
Step 2: Now, as in the option $(B)$ we have to draw the given figure which is cone.

As we can see that as mentioned in the solution hint the cone is not in the shape of rondavel.
Step 3: Now, as in the option $(C)$ we have to draw the given figure which is square.

As we can see that as mentioned in the solution hint the square is not in the shape of rondavel.
Hence, by creating the images of all the shapes as mentioned in the options we have obtained the name of rondavel which is cylinder.

Therefore option $(A)$ is correct.

Note: The main roofing elements of a rondavel are spars or poles taken from tree limbs, which have been harvested and cut to length. The roof covering is sewn to the poles with the grass rope.
