- 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 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?
- 3.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 4.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 5.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 6.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?
- 7.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?
- 8.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 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.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 11.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?
- 12.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?
- 13.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 14.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 15.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
