Question

Which of the following does not have two congruent parallel bases which are discs? Check all that apply.
A. Cone
B. Prism
C. Cylinder
D. Pyramid

Answer 1

A and D right?

Answer 2

Disc means a circle..

Answer 3

So definitely C

Answer 4

Which ones do NOT have two circular bases?

Answer 5

prism doesn't

Answer 6

There's more than that

Answer 7

well cone is a disc at the bottom

Answer 8

Don't forget it says "does not have two congruent parallel bases which are discs"

Answer 9

Prism and pyramid maybe?

Answer 10

Those don't have any discs at all

Answer 11

Exactly so wouldn't that be an answer choice because it doesn't have it

Answer 12

Yes, you want all the ones that don't have two discs

Answer 13

@mathmate

Answer 14

prism and pyramid right

Answer 15

I would say you get the idea, but the idea is that you need to get ALL that do not have parallel bases that are disks.

Answer 16

Well I can eliminate Cone definitely

Answer 17

I suggest you ask yourself two questions for each of the shapes:
1. does it have two parallel bases?
If not, that's one of your answers because it does not satisfy at least one of the conditions.
2. Are the bases disks (meaning circular). If the answer is no, then again it is one of your answers.
Remember the question asks all shapes that do not satisfy BOTH conditions. If ANY ONE condition (two parallel bases, circular base) is not satisfied, you need to single it out as your answer.
In other words, any REMAINING shape has to satisfy BOTH conditions, namely it has to have parallel bases (i.e. at least two bases) AND each base must be circular.

Answer 18

Okay so let's do this step-by-step maybe?

Answer 19

To help confirm your answers, can you tell me why you eliminated (if you do eliminate) each of
1. Prism
2. cone
3. cylinder
4. pyramid

Answer 20

This is a prism, I know that it does not have discs

Answer 21

Good! so prism is on the list.

Answer 22

Okay next, a cone does have discs

Answer 23

a cone has only 1 disk. The "pointy end" is not a disc. So it does not count (they want two discs)

Answer 24

Okay so cone would also be on the list

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

Would all of them be on the list

Answer 27

Well a cylinder has two discs and is parallel right

Answer 28

Right,so is it on the list?

Answer 29

Nope

Answer 30

they want a list of everything that does not have two discs.
that is everything except the cylinder

Answer 31

Yes I got that :)))

Answer 32

Good, so what is on your list?

Answer 33

1,2, and 4
