Answer Key


  1. The circle and the square are examples of plane figures.
  2. 4
  3. Only (a) makes the cube.
  4. No, because one pair of opposite faces will have 1 and 4 on them whose total is not 7, and another pair of opposite faces will have 3 and 6 on them whose total is also not 7.
  5. 4100 cm2
  6. 27,000 blocks.
  7. a. Faces = 6, edges = 12, vertices = 8
    b. Faces = 4, edges = 6, vertices = 4
  8. Matching of the figures is given below:
    i) a) Rectangle
    ii) b) Cylinder
    iii) c) Triangle
    Iv) d) Trapezium
