- 1.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?
- 2.How many vertices does a cylinder have?
- 3.A cube has all of its edges the same length. How many planes of symmetry does it have?
- 4.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?
- 5.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?
- 6.A triangular prism has two triangular end faces and three rectangular faces joining them. How many faces does it have in total?
- 7.How many vertices does a square-based pyramid have?
- 8.How many edges does a cube have?
- 9.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?
- 10.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?
- 11.A solid has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges. What is the name of this solid?
- 12.In this question, a curved surface counts as a face. How many faces does a cone have?
- 13.How many faces does a cuboid 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.How many edges does a triangular prism have?
