Exercise 31

1. Identify the nets which can be used to form cubes:

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 31 - 1

Solution:

The net of a cube is the one which has the faces arranged in such a way that it makes a complete cubic structure

(i) In the given figure, the net cannot be folded into a cube by folding the six faces of the net

Therefore, it is not a cube net.

(ii) In the given figure, the net can be folded into a cube when its faces are folded one over the other

Therefore, it is a cube net

(iii) In the given figure, the net can be folded into a cube when its faces are folded one over the other

Therefore, it is a cube net

(iv) In the given figure, the net cannot be folded into a cube by folding the six faces of the net

Therefore, it is not a cube net

(v) In the given figure, the net can be folded into a cube when its faces are folded one over the other

Therefore, it is a cube net

2. Draw at least three different nets for making cube.

Solution:

A cube net is defined as the net in which if all the faces are folded over other, they make up a perfect cube

3. The dimensions of a cuboid are 6 cm, 4 cm and 3 cm. Draw two different types of oblique sketches for this cuboid.

Solution:

A shape with the six faces which has the different values of the length, breadth and height is known as cuboid

(i)

4. Two cubes, each with 3 cm edge, are placed side by side to form a cuboid. For this cuboid, draw:

(i) an oblique sketch

(ii) an isometric sketch

Solution:

(i) An oblique sketch of a cuboid is shown below

(b) Square pyramid
(c) Hexahedron
(d) Hexagonal prism

(i) A triangular pyramid has,

Number of faces = 4

Number of edges = 6

Number of vertices = 4

Hence,

F – E + V = 4 – 6 + 4

= – 2 + 4

= 2

(ii) A square pyramid has,

Number of faces = 5

Number of edges = 8

Number of vertices = 5

Hence,

F – E + V = 5 – 8 + 5

= – 3 + 5

= 2

(iii) A hexahedron has,

Number of faces = 8

Number of edges = 12

Number of vertices = 6

Hence,

F – E + V = 8 – 12 + 6

= – 4 + 6

= 2

(iv) A hexagonal prism has,

Number of faces = 8

Number of edges = 18

Number of vertices = 12

Hence,

F – E + V = 8 – 18 + 12

= – 10 + 12

= 2

7. Dice are cubes with dot or dots on each face. Opposite faces of a die always have a total of seven on them.

Below are given two nets to make dice (cube), the numbers inserted in each square indicate the number of dots in it.

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 31 - 10

Insert suitable numbers in each blank so that numbers in opposite faces of the die have a total of seven dots.

Solution:

Following are the figures where the numbers are inserted such that the numbers in opposite faces of the die have a total of seven dots

In the given cube net, 4 lies opposite to 3, 6 lies opposite to 1 and 5 lies opposite to 2

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 31 - 11
