Worksheet - Visualising Solid Shapes

The document discusses polyhedrons and Euler's formula. It provides examples of prisms and pyramids, noting that prisms have two identical polygon bases and rectangular sides, while pyramids have one polygon base and triangular sides meeting at a common vertex. Tables show the number of faces, vertices and edges for different solids. Students are asked to fill in tables applying Euler's formula of F+V-E=2 and complete number puzzles involving magic squares and triangles.

Class-VIII
Activity-Visualising Solid Shapes

Euler’s Formula states that for every solid (with straight edges only), the relationship is

F + V - E =2

Points to remember:

1. A solid shape bounded by polygons is called a Polyhedron e.g. cuboid,


cube,prism, pyramid etc.

2. Prism- A solid whose 2 faces are identical polygons and the side faces are
rectangle

3. Pyramid-A 3-D solid whose base is a polygon and whose other faces are triangles
with a common vertex.

4. The number of faces, vertices and edges in the prism and pyramid are related in
following way:

PRISMS PYRAMIDS
Faces=no. of sides of the base +2 Faces=no. of sides of the base + 1
Vertices= no. of sides of the base X 2 Vertices= no. of sides of the base + 1
Edges = no. of sides of the base X 3 Edges = no. of sides of the base X 2
The no. of faces and vertices in a pyramid are equal.

A. Based on the above points fill the following table

Solid No. of Faces No. of No. of


Vertices edges
Cube 6 8 12
Cuboid 6 8 12
Square Pyramid 5 5 8
Triangular Prism 5 6 9
Pentagonal Pyramid 6 6 10
Tetrahedron 4 4 6
Hexagonal Pyramid 7 7 12

B. Using Euler’s formula find the unknown

Faces 8 5 20
Vertices 6 6 12
Edges 12 9 34
C. Complete a magic square with numbers 5 to 13 such that sum of
the numbers in each row, column and both diagonal is equal to 27.

8 1 6
3
7 9 1
1
1 5 1
2 0

D. Fill in the even numbers 2,4,6,8,10 and 12(without repetition) so


that each side of the triangle adds up to 18

12 10
