RBSE Maths Chapter 8: Additional Questions and Solutions

Question 1. Find the number of edges and faces in a triangular prism.

Solution:

The number of edges = 9 and

The number of faces = 5.

Question 2: Define two-dimensional shapes.

Solution:

The plane figures consisting of two measurements, length and breadth, are two-dimensional shapes.

Question 3: Give 3 illustrations of two-dimensional shapes.

Solution:

2d shapes: triangle, rectangle circle.

Question 4: Give 3 illustrations of three-dimensional shapes.

Solution:

3d shapes: cuboid, sphere, cylinder.

Question 5. Define a prism.

Solution:

A polyhedron with its base and top are congruent polygons, lateral surfaces are parallelograms called a prism.

Question 6: Define a pyramid.

Solution:

A polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangular sides with a common vertex is called a pyramid.

Question 7: Find the number of faces in the polyhedron having vertices 10 and edges 16.

Solution:

Number of vertices (v) = 10

Number of edges (E) = 16

Number of faces (F) = ?

Euler formula V + F = E + 2

10 + F = 16 + 2

F = 16 + 2 – 10

F = 8

Question 8: Define regular polyhedrons.

Solution:

A regular polyhedron is the one with its faces made of regular polygons and the same faces meet at each of the vertices.

Question 9: Is it possible to have a polyhedron with any given number of faces?

Solution:

Yes, it is possible only if the number of faces is greater than or equal to four.

Question 10: Is a square, prism the same as a cube? Explain.

Solution:

Yes, It can be a cube. It can be a cuboid also.

Question 11: Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?

Solution:

Since, F + V = E + 2

As 10 + 15 = 20 + 2

A polyhedron cannot have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.

Question 12: One vertex of a cube is cut off equidistant from three sides as shown in the figure below. How many faces and vertices will be present in the new figure?

Solution:

The number of vertices: 10

The number of faces: 7

Question 13: Can a polyhedron have the following as its faces

(i) 3 triangles?

(ii) 4 triangles?

(iii) a square and four triangles?

Solution:

A polyhedron is a solid which is bounded by four or more polygonal faces in such a way that pairs of faces meet along edges and three or more edges meet in each vertex, hence,

(i) It is not possible that a polyhedron has 3 triangles for its faces.

(ii) 4 triangles can be the faces of a polyhedron.

(iii) A square and 4 triangles can be the faces of a polyhedron.

Question 14: In the following figures, determine which among they are prisms?

Solution:

A prism is a polyhedron whose base and top are congruent polygons and lateral faces are parallelograms. So,

(i) A nail is not a prism.

(ii) An unsharpened pencil is a prism.

(iii) Table weight is not a prism.

(iv) A box is a prism.

Question 15: (i) How are prisms and cylinders alike?

(ii) How are pyramids and cones alike?

Solution:

(i) A prism becomes a cylinder when the number of sides of its base becomes large and larger.

(ii) A pyramid becomes a cone when the number of sides of its base becomes larger and larger.

Question 16: Using Euler’s formula, find the missing numbers.

Solution:

For polyhedron A,

The number of faces =?

The number of vertices = 6,

The number of edges =12

By using Euler’s formula F + V = E + 2 or

F = E + 2 – V = 12 + 2 – 6

F = 14 – 6 = 8

Number of faces F = 8

For polyhedron B,

Number of faces = 5,

Number of vertices = ?,

Number of Edges = 9 ,

By using Euler’s formula F + V = E + 2 or

V = E + 2 – F

= 9 + 2 – 5 = 6 …

Number of vertices = 6

Question 17: Find the number of edges in a polyhedron which has 9 vertices and 9 faces.

Solution:

Number of vertices (V) = 9

Number of faces (F) = 9

Euler’s formula: V+ F = E + 2

9 + 9 = E + 2 or 9 + 9 – 2 = E

So, E = 16

Question 18: In a polyhedron, the number of faces is 5 and the number of edges is 9. Find the number of vertices.

Solution:

Number of faces (F) = 5

Number of Edges (E) = 9

Number of Vertices (V) =?

Euler’s formula F +V = E+ 2

5 + V = 9 + 2

5 + V = 11

V = 11 – 5

V = 6

Number of vertices = 6
