What shapes would you use to make a cylinder?
Answer: A circle (two of them) and a rectangle.
What is the difference between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional shapes?
The difference is that two-dimensional shapes have a length and a width while three-dimensional shapes have a length, width, and depth. While some examples of two-dimensional shapes are circle, rectangle, and triangle, example of three-dimensional figures are a sphere, cuboid, and a pyramid.
What combination of shapes that you could use to make a hexagon?
There are an infinite number of options. Even sticking with polygons with sides of the same measure, a hexagon can be made from 6 equilateral triangles, or 4 eq triangles and a 60 degree rhombus, or 2 eq triangles and 2 60-deg rhombi, or 3 60-deg rhombi. Each of the equilateral triangle could be made from smaller shapes. Eg four equilateral mini-triangles to make 1 triangle. Or 2 mini-triangles and 1 mini-rhombus or 2 60-deg mini-rhombi. And then each of those mini triangles could be made up of smaller micro-shapes. And so on ...
How do you work out the area of an irregular rhombus type shape?
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
How do you make a hexagon using 4 shapes?
use 4 triangles, make 2 trapezoids then put them into a hexagon
