- 1.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 2.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?
- 3.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?
- 4.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 5.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?
- 6.A student draws a net using 5 identical squares arranged in a row of four with one extra square attached to the side of one of them. Can this net be folded to make a closed cube?
- 7.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 8.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 9.How many edges does a cube have?
- 10.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 11.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 12.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 13.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 14.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 15.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?
