- 1.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?
- 2.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 3.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?
- 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 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?
- 6.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 7.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?
- 8.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?
- 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 cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 11.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?
- 12.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?
- 13.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 14.How many edges does a cube have?
- 15.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
