- 1.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?
- 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.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
- 4.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 5.How many edges does a cube have?
- 6.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 7.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 8.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?
- 9.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 10.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?
- 11.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 12.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?
- 13.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a sphere have?
- 14.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
- 15.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
