which shape could be thought of as being created by stacking congruent polygons?\n○ cone\n○ rectangular prism\n○ square pyramid\n○ triangular pyramid

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • A cone has a circular base and a curved surface, and it's not formed by stacking congruent polygons (since a circle is not a polygon and the lateral surface is curved).
  • A rectangular prism (a box - like shape) can be thought of as stacking congruent rectangles (or squares, in some cases) on top of each other. Each face of the rectangular prism, when considering the layers, is a congruent polygon.
  • A square pyramid has a square base and triangular faces. The triangular faces are not congruent to the square base, and the structure is not formed by stacking congruent polygons (the layers would change in size as we move up from the base to the apex).
  • A triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has triangular faces, but the layers (if we try to stack) would not be congruent polygons in a way that forms the pyramid (the size of the triangles would change as we move towards the apex).

Answer:

B. rectangular prism
