| (a) | ![]() |
(b) | Hexagonal Prism |
| (b) | ![]() |
(d) | Cone |
| (c) | ![]() |
(c) | Square Pyramid |
| (d) | ![]() |
(a) | Hexahedron |
Explanation:
In figure (a), the base and top both are the hexagonal polygons. So, it is a hexagonal prism.
In figure (b), only one vertexes available. So, it is a cone.
In figure (c), the base is square and rest four faces are equilateral triangles. So, it is a square pyramid.
In figure (d), the base is square and it has 6 faces and 8 vertices. So, it is a hexahedron (cube). [Note Cube is also known as Hexahedron.]
