What solid shape could produce this shadow? The obvious answer is a cuboid, although any prism could be orientated to produce this shadow. We could also have a pyramidwith a rectangular base.
What solid shape could produce this shadow? Possible answers include a tetrahedron, any pyramid (including a cone) or a triangular prism.
What solid shape could produce this shadow? Possible answers include a sphere, a cylinder or a cone.
What solid shape could produce this shadow? Possible answers include a cube, a cuboid with a square cross-section, a square-based pyramid or any prism whose length is equal to its height.
