- 1.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?
- 2.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 3.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?
- 4.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?
- 5.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?
- 6.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 7.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 8.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 9.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 10.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?
- 11.A solid has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices. Two of its faces are triangles and the other three are rectangles. Which solid is it?
- 12.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 13.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?
- 14.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 15.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
