- 1.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 2.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 3.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 4.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 5.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?
- 6.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 7.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 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 solid has two parallel, congruent polygon faces joined by flat rectangles, and its cross-section is the same shape all the way along its length. Which solid is it?
- 10.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?
- 11.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?
- 12.How many edges does a cube have?
- 13.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 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 packaging designer is told a box has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices, and every face is a rectangle. To fit exactly onto a shelf, the designer needs to know whether the box must be a cube. Based only on this information, which solid must the box be?
