- 1.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 2.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?
- 3.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 4.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 5.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 6.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 7.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?
- 8.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?
- 9.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?
- 10.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?
- 11.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?
- 12.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 13.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 14.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?
- 15.How many faces does a cuboid have?
