Worked solution

Solution:-

(c)

By definition, a polyhedron is regular if its faces are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.

Q2Written answer

Which of the following will not form a polyhedron?

(a) 3 triangles (b) 2 triangles and 3 parallelograms

(c) 8 triangles (d) 1 pentagon and 5 triangles

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) 3 triangles

3 triangles will not form a polyhedron because it must have more than four faces. So, it is not possible in 3 triangles which have 3 faces only.

Q3Written answer

Which of the following is a regular polyhedron?

(a) Cuboid (b) Triangular prism

(c) Cube (d) Square prism

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) Cube

Because, a cube is a platonic solid because all six of its faces are congruent squares.

Q4Written answer

Which of the following is a two Dimensional figure?

(a) Rectangle (b) Rectangular Prism

(c) Square Pyramid (d) Square Prism

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) Rectangle

A rectangle is a two dimensional figure. It has length and breadth.

Q5Written answer

Which of the following can be the base of a pyramid?

(a) Line segment (b) Circle (c) Octagon (d) Oval

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) Octagon

A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon, and lateral faces are triangles.

Q6Written answer

Which of the following 3D shapes does not have a vertex?

(a) Pyramid (b) Prism (c) Cone (d) Sphere

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

Sphere.

The faces meet at edges which are line segments, and the edges meet at a point called vertex. Since a sphere has no vertex and no edges.

Q7Written answer

Solid having only line segments as its edges is a

(a) Polyhedron (b) Cone (c) Cylinder (d) Polygon

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) Polyhedron

A polyhedron is formed by four or more polygons that intersect only at their edges. The faces of a regular polyhedron are all congruent regular polygons, and the same number of faces intersect at each vertex.

Q8Written answer

In a solid if F = V = 5, then the number of edges in this shape is

(a) 6 (b) 4 (c) 8 (d) 2

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) 8

We have,

Euler’s formula for any polyhedron is, F + V – E = 2

Given, F = V = 5

Where, face (F) = 5, Vertex (V) = 5, Edge (E) =?

Then,

5 + 5 – E = 2

10 – E = 2

10 – 2 = E

Edges (E) = 8
