Step-by-step solution for: Faces, Edges and Vertices Grade 2 Worksheet | Grade1to6.com
Let's solve this Grade 2 Maths worksheet on 2D & 3D Shapes step by step.
---
We’ll go through each shape one by one.
---
#### ✔ 1. Cone
- Name: Cone
- Faces: 2 (1 curved surface + 1 flat circular base)
- Edges: 1 (the circular edge where the base meets the curved surface)
- Vertices: 1 (the tip or apex)
> 💡 Note: In 3D geometry, a vertex is a corner point. The cone has only one vertex at the tip.
---
#### ✔ 2. Circle (2D Shape)
- Name: Circle
- Faces: 1 (a flat 2D shape has 1 face)
- Edges: 0 (a circle has no straight edges — it's curved)
- Vertices: 0 (no corners)
> 💡 A circle is a 2D shape with no sides or angles.
---
#### ✔ 3. Cube
- Name: Cube
- Faces: 6 (all squares)
- Edges: 12 (each edge connects two faces)
- Vertices: 8 (corners where 3 edges meet)
> ✔ Standard properties of a cube.
---
#### ✔ 4. Cylinder
- Name: Cylinder
- Faces: 3 (2 flat circular bases + 1 curved surface)
- Edges: 2 (the circular edges of the top and bottom)
- Vertices: 0 (no sharp corners — smooth curves)
> 💡 Although it has 2 circular edges, it doesn’t have any vertices because there are no corners.
---
#### ✔ 5. Cuboid (Rectangular Prism)
- Name: Cuboid
- Faces: 6 (rectangular faces)
- Edges: 12
- Vertices: 8
> Same as a cube but with rectangular faces instead of square ones.
---
#### ✔ 6. Square Pyramid
- Name: Square Pyramid
- Faces: 5 (1 square base + 4 triangular faces)
- Edges: 8 (4 edges on the base + 4 edges from base to apex)
- Vertices: 5 (4 at the base + 1 at the top)
> ✔ This is a pyramid with a square base.
---
Now we look at common real-life objects that match the given 2D shapes.
---
#### 🔹 Hexagon
- Examples:
- Honeycomb
- Soccer ball (some panels)
- Nut or bolt head
- Stop sign (not hexagon — wait, actually stop sign is octagon!)
→ So better examples:
- Some tiles
- Clocks (some designs)
- Table tops
✔ Answers:
- Honeycomb
- Bolt head
- Some floor tiles
- Some clocks
---
#### 🔹 Triangle
- Examples:
- Slice of pizza
- Traffic signs (yield sign)
- Roof of a house
- Tent
- Sandwich
✔ Answers:
- Pizza slice
- Traffic sign
- Roof
- Tent
- Sandwich
---
#### 🔹 Square
- Examples:
- Book cover
- Tile
- Window pane
- Dice face
- Chessboard square
✔ Answers:
- Book
- Tile
- Window
- Dice
- Picture frame

- Face: Flat surface of a 3D shape.
- Edge: Where two faces meet (line segment).
- Vertex (plural: vertices): Corner point where edges meet.
- 2D shapes have faces, edges, and vertices too, but they’re simpler.
