3D shapes: side view

Grade 5 · Shapes and angles

An object built from cubes is shown by its front view and its top view. The student picks the side view that could belong to the same object.

The question says 'could', because front and top views don't pin an object down completely. Every wrong choice is impossible for any object with those views, even read from the other side.
