- 1.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 2.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?
- 3.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?
- 4.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 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.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
