Question 1.
Draw any four 3-dimensional figures.
Solution:
Question 2.
Verify Euler’s formula for a right triangular prism.
Solution:
Number of vertices (V) = 6
Number of faces (F) = 5
and number of edges (E) = 9
Euler’s formula:
V + F – E = 2
⇒ 6 + 5 – 9 = 2
⇒ 2 = 2
Hence, the formula is verified.
Question 3.
Find the number of vertices of hexagonal prisms.
Solution:
Number of vertices = 2 × Number of sides = 2 × 6 = 12
Question 4.
Verify whether a polyhedron can have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.
Solution:
We have
Number of faces F = 10
Number of edges E = 20
and number of vertices V = 15
Euler’s formula:
V + F – E = 2
⇒ 15 + 10 – 20 = 2
⇒ 5 ≠ 2
Hence, it is not possible to have a polyhedron satisfying the above data.
Question 5.
If F = 18 and V = 10, then find the value of E in Euler’s formula.
Solution:
We know that
V + F – E = 2
⇒ 10 + 18 – E = 2
⇒ 28 – E = 2
⇒ E = 28 – 2 = 26
Hence, the required value of E = 26
Question 6.
Draw the front, side and top views of the following 3-D figures.
Solution:

(i) Name the solid it represents.
(ii) Find the number of faces, edges and vertices.
Solution:
(i) The given figure represents the net prims of the triangular prism
(ii) Number of faces = 5
Number of edges = 9
Number of vertices = 6

Question 9.
Match the following:
Solution:
(a) → (vi)
(b) → (v)
(c) → (ii)
(d) → (i)
(e) → (iii)
(f) → (v)
Question 10.
Using Euler’s formula, fill in the blanks:
| Faces | Vertices | Edges | |
| (a) | 6 | 8 | — |
| (b) | — | 10 | 15 |
| (c) | 4 | — | 6 |
| (d) | 5 | 6 | — |
| (e) | 8 | 12 | — |
| (f) | 7 | 7 | — |
Solution:
(a) F + V – E = 2
⇒ 6 + 8 – E = 2
⇒ 14 – E = 2
⇒ E = 14 – 2 = 12
(b) F + V – E = 2
⇒ F + 10 – 15 = 2
⇒ F – 5 = 2
⇒ F = 2 + 5 = 7
(c) F + V – E = 2
⇒ 4 + V – 6 = 2
⇒ V – 2 = 2
⇒ V = 2 + 2 = 4
(d) F +V – E = 2
⇒ 5 + 6 – E = 2
⇒ 11 – E = 2
⇒ E = 11 – 2 = 9
(e) F + V – E = 2
⇒ 8 + 12 – E = 2
⇒ 20 – E = 2
⇒ E = 20 – 2 = 18
(f) F + V – E = 2
⇒ 7 + 7 – E = 2
⇒ 14 – E = 2
⇒ E = 14 – 2 = 12
Hence (a) → 12, (b) → 7, (c) → 4, (d) → 9, (e) → 18, (f) → 12

Solution:
(i) Tetrahedron
(ii) Regular octahedron
(iii) Cube and cuboid
(iv) Cylinder
(v) Square and a rectangular pyramid
(vi) Hexagonal prism

Question 13.
Use isometric dot paper to sketch a rectangular prism with length 4 units, height 2 units and width 3 units. (NCERT Exemplar)
Solution:
Steps:
1. Draw a parallelogram with sides 4 units and 3 units. This is the top of the prism (Fig. 1).
2. Start at one vertex. Draw a line passing through two dots. Repeat for the other three vertices. Draw the hidden edges as a dashed line (Fig. 2).
3. Connect the ends of the lines to complete the prism (Fig. 3).
