Question:
Which three-dimensional figures have lateral faces that are polygons? check all that apply.
- cones
- cylinders
- hemispheres
- prisms
- pyramids
- spheres
Answer:
The correct choices are;
- prisms and
- pyramids
Explanation:
A polygon is a figure closed or bounded with several straight line segments and polygons are named based on how many sides, side size and sizes of angles that they have present.
A three sided polygon for example is called a triangle
A lateral face are the faces of a prism except the base
Based on the definitions, we note that out of the options, only prisms, and pyramids have lateral faces that are made up entirely of straight line segments, hence polygons. Therefore, the correct choices are prisms and pyramids.
