Idea 21of 22Builds onA line in a view shows where the height changes
Match the views to the object
Given only the drawings, how can you tell which object it is?
Today you'll discover
- how to match drawings to an object
- why one view is not enough
- how a cone and a pyramid differ
Think firstThree views, but no object
Front: a rectangle. Side: a rectangle. Top: a circle. Which object is it?
Decide first, then press Next. Check the object against every view, not just one.
Three flat drawings, a rectangle, a rectangle and a circle, beside a question mark where the object should be. Then a soup can appears with its views. Then a cereal box, rectangles from every side, and a cone, triangles from the front and side and a circle from above. The last step shows triangle, triangle and a square with crossing lines.

The big idea
To match drawings to an object, check every view: one view can fit many objects.
For exampleCone or pyramid? Both are triangles from the front and side. Only the top view tells: a circle or a square.
Easy to get wrongDon't stop at the first view that fits. A wrong object can match one or even two views.
Key word
- match
- to find the object whose views are the same as the drawings
Ready to use it?
- Match a set of views to its object.
- Say which view rules an object out.
