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