Worked practice questions
A right square prism is also called a square cuboid. How many edges does it have?
- 10
- 8
- 16
- 12
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. 12
Like any cuboid, it has four edges in each of three directions, so twelve.
In a right prism, the side faces are all what shape?
- Rectangles
- Circles
- Triangles
- Trapeziums
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Rectangles
Joining faces meet the bases at right angles, which forces them to be rectangular.
