Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A cuboid has dimensions 4 cm by 3 cm by 2 cm. Draw its net and calculate its total surface area.
[4 marks]2.
Describe how you can identify the net of a cuboid without folding it. What features would you look for?
[2 marks]3.
Calculate the surface area of a cuboid with length 5 cm, width 3 cm, and height 2 cm using its net.
[3 marks]4.
A box is made from a net with rectangles measuring 6 cm by 4 cm and 3 cm by 4 cm. If the net is folded into a cuboid, find its surface area.
[3 marks]5.
Construct a net for a cuboid with dimensions 7 cm, 5 cm, and 3 cm. Label each rectangle with its dimensions.
[4 marks]6.
Calculate the surface area of a cube with side length 4 cm by using its net.
[3 marks]7.
A storage box is in the shape of a cuboid with length 10 cm, width 6 cm, and height 4 cm. Its net is made of rectangles. Calculate its surface area.
[3 marks]8.
In a manufacturing process, a cuboid net is cut and folded to form a packaging box. The net has rectangles measuring 8 cm by 3 cm, 8 cm by 5 cm, and 3 cm by 5 cm. Calculate the total surface area of the box.
[4 marks]9.
A designer wants to create a display cube with a surface area of 150 square centimeters. If each face of the cube is a square, what should be the length of each side?
[3 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student calculated the surface area of a cuboid with dimensions 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm as 94 square centimeters, by adding the areas of all faces. The correct surface area is 94 cm². Did the student make an error? Explain.
[2 marks]11.
