What 2 main solids make the basic structure of this tiny home? Choose another shape to describe as a function in the design of this tiny home. For example: a red wooden rectangle functions as a door to enter the structure.
This tiny home has two different solids and those solids are
a triangular prism and a cube.
A glass rectangle window with 6 smaller rectangle designs function as a window to let air and sunlight in to the structure.
What 2 main solids make the basic structure of this tiny home?
One is a wood that makes the whole house except the window.
Other is a glass that makes window.

A glass rectangle functions as a window to see outside and receive sunlight.
A wooden triangular prism functions as a roof to protect the tiny house from rain, snow or wind.
Jeoghan, this is a very nice description of the shape and its function. In terms of the 2 main objects of the house, I am looking for a 3-d shape not materials. Very good work, so far!
Thanks, Ben. If I wanted to know the 3-D shapes of the main parts of the house what would I call those? You are doing well with this and I am just asking for clarification.
The two main solids in the tiny house are a triangular prism and a rectangular prism. It could maybe be a cube but you can’t see how long the house is. The rectangle window’s purpose is to let you see outside during quarantine. 😂😂
Eli, you are very perceptive and I like how you qualify your answer and in fact, the bottom of the tiny house is a cube. I also like your sense of humor. Thank you!
The rectangular prism functions as the body of the house. The triangular prism functions as the roof and the windows are shaped like rectangles and they let in light.

triangular prism, cube
the window is for the light.
the window a rectangle,

Matthew, you demonstrate the ability to observe the structure and describe it in terms of shape and function. Well done!
Kevin
The two main solids are rectangular prism and triangular prism.
Rectangle function with white edges and a square withe window on the roof.

Kevin you demonstrate good observations of the structure in terms of the solids and shapes. What is the function of a window?
Kevin Maeng
for the light and wind

Great, thank you.

Excellent!
Katherine
The roof is a triangular prism and the body of the house is a rectangular prism. The big window is a rectangle. The front of the roof is a triangle.

Nice work, and can you explain the function of a roof or a window?
Katherine
A wooden and glass rectangle functions as a window.

Oliver
Cube, triangular prism and rectangle
taylorgibbsl
Great! Can you be a bit more specific about the rectangle and mention its function too please.
jazmyn
Rectangular prism for at the bottom of the house , a triangular prism on the top and cylinder flower pots.
taylorgibbsl
Jazmyn, these are great observations.
BenjaminT
A triangle and a square
Glass rectangle functions as a window

Erik Starling
Triangle prism for the roof and square prism for the walls.
I also see a rectangle filled with rectangles for the window, so you can see out of them.
taylorgibbsl
Erik, you are making good observations of shapes and understanding their functions too.
Jiwon Yang
A white rectangle functions as a window to open for fresh air.
A brown wooden triangle functions as a roof to protect from rain and snow.
taylorgibbsl
Jiwon, you are making good observatoins and I like how you added the functions of the shapes too.
Tiana
The cube is for the bottom of the house. Triangular for the top of the house. The rectangle is for the window.
taylorgibbsl
Tiana, you are making good observations and making nice connections to the functions of the shapes too.

Zoe Wat
It it made up of a triangular prism and a cube
Also the glass rectangle function as a window, which lets light in
Zow Wat
*Rectangular prism

Zoe, nice connections between the solid shapes and their functions.

Triangular prism and rectangular prism. A clear rectangle is used as a window. A cylinder is being used as a plant holder.

Kiev, thanks for making some nice connections between solid shapes and their functions.
