- 1.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?
- 2.A solid has 5 faces: one square face and four triangular faces, which all meet at a single point above the square. What is the name of this solid?
- 3.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?
- 4.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 5.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 6.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?
- 7.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 8.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 9.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 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 cuboid have?
- 12.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 13.How many vertices does a cylinder 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 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?
