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