We come across various Three-Dimensional Shapes in our daily lives, and having a basic idea about them is very important. Exercise 16.1 has problems based on shapes like cuboids and cubes. Objects like matchboxes, tea packets, chalk boxes, dice and books, etc., are examples of cuboids, and a wooden box is an example of a cube. Subject-matter experts design solutions based on the understanding capacity of students, irrespective of their intelligence quotient.

(PQ, QR, RS, SP), (TU, UV, VW, WT), (WS, SR, RV, VW) and (UV, VR, RQ, QU)
3. Draw a diagram to represent a cube. Label its vertices as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Now write the names of its faces and edges.
Solution:
The diagram of a cube is as follows:
We know that a cube has 6 faces and 12 edges.
The faces of a cube are
ABCD, EFGH, BCGF, ADHE, ABFE and CDHG.
The edges of a cube are
AB, BC, CD, DA, EF, FG, GH, HE, BF, CG, AE and HD
4. Fig. 16.2 represents a cuboid. The lengths of the edges AE, EF, and FG are indicated as l, b and h, respectively. Indicated the lengths of all other edges.
Solution:
It is given that the lengths of the edges AE, EF and FG are indicated as l, b and h, respectively. The lengths of all other edges are as follows
AE = DH = BF = CG = l
EF = HG = AB = DC = b
FG = EH = BC = AD = h
5. In Fig. 16.2, if the face EFGH is taken as the base, the name of the lateral faces. Also, name the line segment representing the height of the cuboid.
Solution:
The lateral faces for the base EFGH are
AEHD, AEFB, BFGC and DHGC
The line segments representing the height of the cuboid are
AE or DH or BF or CG
6. In Fig. 16.2, name the four diagonals of the cuboid.
Solution:
CE, BH, AG and DF are the four diagonals of a cuboid.
7. In Fig. 16.2, name the
(i) face parallel to BFGC
(ii) faces adjacent to BFGC
(iii) three edges which meet in the vertex G.
Solution:
(i) AEHD is the face parallel to BFGC
(ii) BCDA, DCGH, ABFE, and EFGH are the faces adjacent to BFGC
(iii) Three edges which meet in the vertex G are CG, GH and GF
