- 1.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?
- 2.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?
- 3.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 4.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 5.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 6.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?
- 7.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?
- 8.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?
- 9.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?
- 10.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?
- 11.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 12.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?
- 13.How many edges does a cube have?
- 14.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 15.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?
