Here is the side elevation and plan view of an object made from cubes. Alex says that the object must contain 10 cubes. Show that Alex is wrong.

The plan view is the view of a 3 D shape seen from the top. An elevation is the view of a 3 D shape seen from the front or the side. With the given side elevation and plan let's draw the solid, On counting the number of cubes, there are 9 cubes. Thus, Alex is wrong because solid is having cubes less than 10 .

The diagrams show the plan and elevations of a 3 D shape made from six cubes. Draw the shape of the object.

We know that the plan view is the view of a 3 D shape seen from the top. An elevation is the view of a 3 D shape seen from the front or the side. So try to draw a solid object such that when you see from side, it looks exactly like the given side view, and it looks like plan view when observed from top and front elevation when seen from front of the object. For the given side elevation, plan view and front elevation, the following is the solid object:
