1.
Draw the net of a rectangular prism that has dimensions 3 cm by 4 cm by 5 cm.
[3 marks]2.
Calculate the total surface area of a prism with a net consisting of rectangles measuring 6 cm by 4 cm, 6 cm by 4 cm, and 6 cm by 8 cm.
[3 marks]3.
Construct a net for a triangular prism with triangular bases of side length 5 cm and height 4 cm, and a rectangular side of 5 cm by 8 cm.
[4 marks]4.
A cuboid has a length of 10 cm, width of 5 cm, and height of 3 cm. Draw its net.
[3 marks]5.
A rectangular prism has a surface area of 94 cm^2. Its base dimensions are 4 cm by 3 cm. Find the height of the prism.
[4 marks]6.
Identify the common mistake students make when calculating the surface area from a net and explain how to avoid it.
[2 marks]7.
A student draws a net for a cube. They forget to include two of the square faces. What is the impact on the calculated surface area?
[2 marks]8.
