What one does not belong circle square triangle rectangle sphere octagon?
The correct answer is Sphere. All of these are geometric shapes, however only the sphere is a 3 dimensional one.
Why are triangles used in the Navajo bridge?
A triangle is one of the strongest shapes for construction. A square or rectangle can deform into a parallelogram when loaded with weight, but a triangle cannot change shape without breaking one of the sides.
How strong is a square?
not very, the triangle is one of the strongest supporting shapes.
What has one curved face maths shapes?
A sphere, an ellipsoid, a toroid are some examples.
How many different shapes of a moon are there?
For earth there is only one moon and it has only one shape that is sphere...!
What is it no corners and no sides?
A point has no corners and no sides. There are several geometic shapes with no corners and only one side. Some of the shapes are circle, oval, and sphere.
What is leonhard euler's rule for corners edges and faces?
For a simply connected convex polyhedron , that is, shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere, F - E + V = 2 where F = faces, E = edges and V = vertices. For shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere with one hole in it (torus or doughnut shape), F - E + V = 0 For shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere with two holes in it F - E + V = -2 For shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere with three holes in it F - E + V = -4 and so on.
Maths question shapes what is a sphere?
It is a round 3d shape and it also has only one face. It is the shape of the earth
What is a three dimenional shape is it one of these cylinder cube cone sphere?
All of those are 3-dimensional shapes.
What shapes resist earthquakes?
There are no shapes that can resist earthquakes, but the strongest shape (as we all know (Hopefully)) the triangle is the strongest but is useless to earthquakes. if you want something to hold stuff still during one. you will possibly need springs. they help for dampening the movement back and forth.
What is the name of a shape which has one curved face?
There is not a name becasue there are many different shapes. A sphere, an ellipsoid, a torus (doughnut), toroidal shapes with two or more "holes", a paraboloid, semi-hyperboloid etc are all 3-dimensional shapes which have got just one curved surface.
What shape has more than one faces?
Most 3D shapes, such as a cube, cuboid etc. have more than one face (with the possible exception of a sphere).
