  1. 1.

    A collection of six three-dimensional shapes—a sphere, a cylinder, a cone, a cube, a triangular prism, and a square pyramid—is sorted into two categories based on their surfaces. Which group consists entirely of the shapes that have at least one curved surface?

    • A) Cube, cylinder, and sphere
    • B) Cone, triangular prism, and square pyramid
    • C) Sphere, cylinder, and cone
    • D) Sphere, cone, and triangular prism
  2. 2.

    • D) 14, 28, and 44
  5. 5.

    A group of geometric shapes consisting of a triangle, a square, a rectangle, a pentagon, and a hexagon is classified into two categories: shapes with an odd number of sides and shapes with an even number of sides. Which list contains all the shapes that belong to the odd-numbered sides category?

    • A) Triangle, pentagon, and hexagon
    • B) Triangle and pentagon
