- 1.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 2.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 3.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 4.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 5.A tent is shaped like a triangular prism: two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces. One of the rectangular faces lies flat on the ground as the groundsheet. How many of the tent's faces are above the ground, not touching the ground?
- 6.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 7.A solid has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices. Two of its faces are triangles and the other three are rectangles. Which solid is it?
- 8.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 9.A hexagonal prism lies on a table. A flat cut is made straight across it, at right angles to its length (so the cut is parallel to the two identical end faces). What shape is the cross-section?
- 10.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 11.How many edges does a cube have?
- 12.A square-based pyramid has a square base and four identical triangular sloping faces, with its apex directly above the centre of the base. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 13.A solid has one curved surface and two flat circular faces of equal size, one at each end. What is the name of this solid?
- 14.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 15.A student draws a net using 5 identical squares arranged in a row of four with one extra square attached to the side of one of them. Can this net be folded to make a closed cube?
