- 1.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?
- 2.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 3.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?
- 4.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 5.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 6.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 7.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?
- 8.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?
- 9.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?
- 10.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 11.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 12.How many edges does a cube have?
- 13.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 14.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?
- 15.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
