D. Four
Answer: A
3. A sphere has how many faces?
A. One
B. Two

B. A tent
C. A ball
D. A box
Answer: B
5. The top-view of a cone looks like this:
A. A Circle
B. A Square
C. A Rectangle
D. A Triangle
Answer:A
Explanation: The base of a right cone is always circular. When we see it from the top, it looks like a circle with its vertex as the center of the circle.
6. The top-view of a cube looks like a:
A. Circle
B. Square
C. Rectangle
D. Triangle
Answer:B
Explanation: Since all the faces of a cube are of equal length.
7. The top-view of a cuboid looks like a:
A. Circle
B. Square
C. Rectangle
D. Triangle
Answer:C
8. The side-view of a cone appears as:
A. Circle
B. Square
C. Rectangle
D. Triangle
Answer:D
9. The base of a prism is:
A. Circle
B. Triangle
C. Square
D. Any shape
Answer:D
Explanation: A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon (of any number of sides) and whose lateral faces are triangles with a common vertex.
10. If a polyhedron has 6 vertices and 12 edges. What is the number of faces it has?
A. 6
B. 8
C. 12
D. 18
Answer:B
Explanation: By Euler’s formula we know that:
For any polyhedron,
F + V – E = 2
F = 2-V+E
F = 2 – 6+12 = 8
11. The example of cylindrical shape is:
A. Pipes
B. Gas cylinder
C. Cold drink cans
D. All of the above
Answer:D. All of the above
12. What is the name of the shape?
A. Circle
B. Square
C. Cone
D. Cylinder
Answer: A. Circle

A. Square
B. Rectangle
C. Cuboid
D. Cube
Answer: D.Cube
