- 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.A solid has 6 faces: one pentagon and five triangles that all meet at a single point above the pentagon. What is the name of this solid?
- 3.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 4.How many edges does a cube have?
- 5.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 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 solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 8.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?
- 9.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 10.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?
- 11.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?
- 12.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 13.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 14.A cylindrical tin has a curved surface, a flat circular base and a flat circular lid. A label is stuck around the curved surface only. How many of the tin's faces are NOT covered by the label?
- 15.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?
