- 1.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 2.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 3.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 4.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 5.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 6.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?
- 7.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 8.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?
- 9.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?
- 10.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 11.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 12.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 13.A cone is cut by a flat plane parallel to its circular base, partway up between the base and the apex. What shape is the cross-section?
- 14.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?
- 15.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?
