100

If a cube with 12cm edges is represented in a cabinet drawing with a base scale of 1 interval = 4cm, how many intervals long would the edges of the front facing square be?

3 (Three)

200

Line around which we can rotate a 3-Dimensional object.

Axis of Rotation

200

Which shape has 5 faces, 8 edges, and 5 vertices?

Square or Rectangular Base Pyramid.

200

What type of pyramid has no rotational symmetry?

Oblique (or irregular).

200

How many squares are in the top view:


4 (Four)

200

What would the depth scale of this object be if it was represented in a cabinet projection (how many centimetres)?

9 cm

300

A flat surface that divides a 3D object into two identical halves.

Plane of Symmetry

300

How many faces, edges, and vertices does a cylinder have?

2 faces, 2 edges, 0 vertices (+ 1 curved surface)

300

How many more planes of symmetry does a regular right prism have than lines of symmetry of its base (other than a cube)?

1 (One)

300

How many squares are in the side view:

3 (Three)

300

An interval scale of 1 interval = 3cm is used to represent this box on an isometric grid. How many intervals are used to represent the width (15cm)?

5 (Five)

400

Grid that uses the same scale in all dimensions.

Isometric Grid Paper

400

Which shape has 7 faces, 5 equal length edges on its base(s), 15 total edges, and 10 vertices? (Be specific)

Regular Pentagonal Base Prism.

400

As a cube rotates on its axis of rotation, it appears to look the same at 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees. It therefore has _____-____ axis of rotational symmetry.

Four-fold.

400

How many total combined squares are in the top and front views:

400

What would the length of this object be with a scale of 1 interval = 10m?

40 m

500

Used to translate base shapes in perspective drawing.

Depth Scale (half of the base scale is often used to create a realistic perspective).

500

Which shape has 7 faces, 6 unequal length edges on its base(s), 12 total edges, and 7 vertices? (Be specific)

Irregular Hexagonal Base Pyramid.

500

How many planes of symmetry does a cube have?

9 (Nine)

500

What is the minimum number of blocks in this shape? How do you know?

9 (Nine). No faces of the block in the back left corner on the bottom row are visible, therefore we do not know for sure that there is a block there.

500
