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