Question 14 of 30intermediate💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

Name the objects that have both straight and curved edges?

Correct Answer

Answer: Objects that have both straight and curved edges include:

  • A coin (straight edge on the side, curved circular faces)
  • A bucket (straight sides, curved rim)
  • A drum
  • A cylindrical container
  • A glass tumbler
  • A candle (cylindrical shape)

A semi-circle also has one straight edge and one curved edge.

Exercise: Let us Think | Q: B | (Chapter: Page 8)
For More Understanding

Explanation

The chapter encourages children to observe objects that combine both types of edges. Cylindrical objects typically have curved surfaces (curved edges when viewed from top/bottom) and can have straight edges on their sides. This helps children understand that objects can have mixed geometric properties.

Solution Steps

  1. Identify objects that have both straight and curved edges

  2. List examples: coin, bucket, drum, cylindrical container, glass tumbler, candle

  3. Note that a semi-circle also has one straight edge and one curved edge
