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