- 1.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 2.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 3.A cuboid has three different edge lengths: a length, a width and a height, all different from each other. How many rectangles make up its net in total?
- 4.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 5.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?
- 6.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 7.A square-based pyramid is cut by a flat plane parallel to its base, partway up between the base and the apex. What shape is the cross-section?
- 8.A cylindrical drum and a cuboid box are being wrapped for a display. A shop assistant wraps only the flat faces of each item, not any curved surface. How many flat faces in total does the assistant wrap across both items?
- 9.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 10.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?
- 11.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 12.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?
- 13.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 14.A solid has two parallel, congruent polygon faces joined by flat rectangles, and its cross-section is the same shape all the way along its length. Which solid is it?
- 15.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
