Name the solid according to its description:
The figure has one base that is a hexagon. (1 point)
A) pentagonal pyramid
B) hexagonal pyramid
C) hexagonal prism
D) pentagonal pyramid
B) hexagonal pyramid
To determine the name of the solid according to its description, we need to understand the characteristics of each type of solid mentioned in the options.
A) A pentagonal pyramid is a solid with a pentagonal base and triangular sides extending from each vertex of the base to a common point called the apex. Since the base described in the question is a hexagon (a six-sided polygon), the answer is not A.
B) A hexagonal pyramid is a solid with a hexagonal base and triangular sides extending from each vertex of the base to a common point called the apex. Since the base described in the question is a hexagon, the answer could be B.
C) A hexagonal prism is a solid with two parallel and congruent hexagonal bases connected by rectangular faces. Since the description only mentions one base, the answer is not C.
D) A pentagonal pyramid is a solid with a pentagonal base and triangular sides extending from each vertex of the base to a common point called the apex. Since the base described in the question is a hexagon, the answer is not D.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) hexagonal pyramid, as it satisfies the condition of having a hexagonal base.
