## NCERT solutions for class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes Exercise 10.3

1.Can a polyhedron have for its faces
(i) 3 triangles?

(ii) 4 triangles?

(iii) a square and four triangles?

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

A polyhedron is a solid which is bounded by four or more polygonal faces in such a way that pairs of faces meet along edges and three or more edges meet in each vertex.Therefore,
(i)No because a polyhedron cannot for its faces have three triangles.

(ii)Yes

(iii)Yes

2.Is it possible to have a polyhedron with any given number of faces? (Hint : Think of a pyramid)

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

Yes, it is possible only if the number of faces are equal or greater than four.

3.Which are prisms among the following ?

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

Here we have only (ii) unsharpened pencils and (iv) a box as the prism.

4.(i) How are prisms and cylinders alike?
(ii) How are pyramids and cones alike?

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

(i) If the number of sides of its base becomes larger and larger then a prism becomes a cylinder.
(ii) If the number of sides of its base becomes larger and larger then a pyramid becomes a cone

5.Is a square prism same as a cube? Explain.

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

Yes it can be but every square prism cannot be cube. It may be cuboid also.

6.Verify Euler’s formula for these solids.

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

(i) In this given figure we have,
F = 7, V = 10, E =15

? F + V =7 + 10 = 17 and E + 2 =15 + 2 = 17

$?$ F+V=E+ 2

Thus, Euler’s formula is verified.

(ii) In this given figure,

F =9, V = 9,E =16

? F + V =9 + 9 =18 and E + 2 =16 +2 =18

$?$ F + V =E + 2

Thus, Euler’s formula is verified.

7.Using Euler’s formula find the unknown.

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

In the first case we have: Vertices =6, Edges =12
By Euler’s formula, F + V= E + 2

F= 12 + 2-6 =8

Hence, faces =8

In 2nd case we have : Faces = 5, Edges = 9

By Euler’s formula, F + V = E + 2

V = E + 2 – F = 9+ 2- 5 = 6

Hence, vertices =6

In 3rd case we have : Faces =20, Vertices =12

By Euler’s formula, we know that F+V=E+2

E = F + V – 2 = 20 + 12 – 2 = 30

Hence, edges =30

8.Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Visualising Solid Shapes

Answer :

Since F + V $?$ E +2 (as 10 +15 ? 20 + 2) so a polyhedron cannot have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.
