- 1.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 2.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 3.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 4.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 5.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?
- 6.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?
- 7.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 8.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?
- 9.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?
- 10.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?
- 11.How many edges does a cube have?
- 12.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 13.A cone is cut by a flat plane parallel to its circular base, partway up between the base and the apex. What shape is the cross-section?
- 14.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?
- 15.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?
