- 1.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?
- 2.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 3.A solid has 6 faces and 8 vertices. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 4.A cuboid has a length, width and height that are all different from each other. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 5.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?
- 6.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?
- 7.How many edges does a cube have?
- 8.A hexagonal prism has 8 faces and 12 vertices. Using F + V − E = 2, work out how many edges it has.
- 9.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?
- 10.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 11.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?
- 12.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 13.How many faces does a cuboid have?
- 14.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 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?
