- 1.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 2.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 3.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 4.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?
- 5.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?
- 6.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 7.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 8.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 9.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 10.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?
- 11.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?
- 12.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?
- 13.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?
- 14.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 15.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
