Which shape is flat?
In this question, we can see a
picture of two shapes. And there’s a keyword in our
question that we need to understand. We’re asked, which of the two
shapes is flat? The blue shape has three sides. That’s how we know it’s a
triangle. If we look carefully at our second
shape, we can see that it has a curved surface that goes all the way around, a flat
surface at one end, and a point at the other. That’s how we know the name of the
shape is a cone. So our question’s asking us, which
shape out of a triangle and a cone is flat? Well, we know that a cone is a
solid shape. We know that ice cream cones and
traffic cones are objects, whereas a triangle is a flat shape. It’s not a solid shape. Out of our two shapes, the shape
that’s flat is the triangle.
