  1. Read this first

    Use this

    3 by 3 base of stacked cubes. Columns A, B, C run left to right as seen from the front; rows 1, 2, 3 run from the front to the back. Front view, tallest stack in each column: 3, 1, 1. Right-side view, tallest stack in each row (row 1 on the left): 2, 2, 3.

  2. Ari builds on a 3 by 3 base and records the front and right-side views on the card. What is the least number of cubes the building could have?

  3. Use this

    Columns A, B, C run left to right as seen from the front; rows 1, 2, 3 run from the front to the back. Front view, tallest stack in each column: 2, 3, 1. Right-side view, tallest stack in each row (row 1 on the left): 1, 1, 3.

  4. Bo builds on a 3 by 3 base and records the front and right-side views on the card. What is the least number of cubes the building could have?

  5. Esme builds on a 3 by 3 base and records the front and right-side views on the card. What is the least number of cubes the building could have?

  6. Kira compares a right cylinder with radius 3 cm and height 8 cm to a leaning cylinder with radius 3 cm, vertical height 8 cm and slant length 10 cm. Which reply is justified?

    • Equal surface areas, since both have radius 3 cm and height 8 cm
    • Different volumes: the leaning cylinder is longer along its slant, so it holds 90π cm³ instead of 72π cm³
    • The cylinders are congruent, since their slices match
    • Equal volumes, 72π cm³: slices at each height are circles of radius 3 cm
  7. Luz has a square prism with base area 36 cm² and a cylinder with base area 36 cm². Both are 5 cm tall. Which reply is justified?

    • Equal surface areas, since both bases are 36 cm²
    • Equal volumes, 180 cm³ each: slices at every height have equal area
    • The cylinder is larger, because a round base of area 36 cm² holds more than a square one
    • The solids are congruent, since their slices have equal area
  8. Milo drew two plans for one card. The card shows the front and right-side views. Which reply is justified?

    • Both plans fit the card, so both buildings must hold 14 cubes, the count of plan X
    • Both plans fit the card, with 14 and 6 cubes, so the views do not fix the building
    • Plan X does not fit the card, because 8 of its cubes are hidden and the card cannot show them
    • Plan Y does not fit the card, because it holds 8 fewer cubes than plan X does
  9. Card

    Front view, tallest stack in each column from the left: 2, 2, 3; right-side view, tallest stack in each row (row 1 on the left): 2, 3, 1. Plan X, stack heights by row (columns left to right): row 1: 2, 2, 2; row 2: 2, 2, 3; row 3: 1, 1, 1. Plan Y: row 1: 0, 2, 0; row 2: 2, 0, 3; row 3: 0, 0, 1.

  10. Noah drew two plans for one card. The card shows the front and right-side views. Which reply is justified?

    • Plan X does not fit the card, because 8 of its cubes are hidden and the card cannot show them
    • Both plans fit the card, so both buildings must hold 16 cubes, the count of plan X
    • Both plans fit the card, with 16 and 8 cubes, so the views do not fix the building
    • Plan Y does not fit the card, because it holds 8 fewer cubes than plan X does
  11. Card

    Front view, tallest stack in each column from the left: 3, 3, 1; right-side view, tallest stack in each row (row 1 on the left): 1, 3, 2. Plan X, stack heights by row (columns left to right): row 1: 1, 1, 1; row 2: 3, 3, 1; row 3: 2, 2, 1. Plan Y: row 1: 0, 0, 1; row 2: 3, 3, 0; row 3: 0, 2, 0.

  12. Pia drew two plans for one card. The card shows the front and right-side views. Which reply is justified?

    • Both plans fit the card, so both buildings must hold 15 cubes, the count of plan X
    • Plan Y does not fit the card, because it holds 6 fewer cubes than plan X does
    • Both plans fit the card, with 15 and 9 cubes, so the views do not fix the building
    • Plan X does not fit the card, because 6 of its cubes are hidden and the card cannot show them
  13. Ren slices a cone with a plane through its apex and the center of its base. The slice is an isosceles triangle. Which reason proves it?

    • The slice has one base and one height, so it must be a triangle with two equal sides
    • Two slant edges from the apex to the base circle are equal, and the base chord is a diameter
    • The slant height equals the base radius, so the three sides of the slice are equal
    • Slices of a cone are circles, so this triangle is really a circle seen edge-on, with two equal sides
  14. Zee compares a hemisphere of radius r with a cylinder (radius r, height r) minus a cone with its apex at the center. Which fact shows their slices at height d match?

    • The cone has a slice of area π(r² − d²) at height d, the same as the hemisphere
    • The cylinder has a slice of area πr² at height d, so it matches the hemisphere
    • The cylinder minus the cone has a ring of area π(r − d)² at height d, the square of the difference
    • The cylinder minus the cone has a ring of area πr² − πd² at height d

About this worksheet

Nets, and views of a solid from the top, front and side. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the vertices of a solid from its faces, using that each edge is shared by two faces and V − E + F = 2.
  • I can tell whether a shape of six squares folds into a cube, and which solid two views describe.
  • I can name the cross-section of a solid cut by a plane, and find its size with similar figures or the Pythagorean theorem.
  • I can say what solid a flat shape sweeps out when it spins, and find its volume.
  • I can say when two views do not fix a building, and use Cavalieri's principle: equal slices at every height give equal volumes.

Standard: IXL parity (Nov 11) (nearest: G-GMD.B.4; 6.G.A.4)

Words to know

net: A solid unfolded flat into its faces

view: What a solid looks like from the top, front or side

face, edge, vertex: A flat surface; where two faces meet; a corner

cross-section: The flat shape you see where a plane cuts a solid

solid of revolution: The solid made by spinning a flat shape about a line

Cavalieri's principle: Solids of equal height with equal slice areas at every height have equal volume

Common mistakes

Your child added up the sides of every face and used that as the number of edges. Each edge is shared by two faces, so halve the total first.

Your child stopped before adding 2 in V = E − F + 2.

Your child found the edges and stopped.

What to say

Ask: what does the formula say V − E + F equals?

Ask: which number does the question ask for, edges or vertices?

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with nets, and views of a solid from the top, front and side?

Your child added up the sides of every face and used that as the number of edges. Each edge is shared by two faces, so halve the total first.
