This math topic focuses on identifying 3D shapes based on a given set of properties—specifically, the number of edges and vertices each shape has. Each question presents a set of these geometric properties and then requires selecting the correct 3D shape that matches these specifications from multiple choices. This practice is part of a broader study unit on the geometry and surface area of 3D shapes, aimed at developing spatial visualization and geometric analysis skills.
