5 Questions
Q1.
What is the definition of the 'face' of a 3-D shape?
A flat surface of the 3-D shape.
The corners where the edges of the shape meet.
The part of the shape where 2 surfaces meet.
Q2.
'It is possible for a shape to have more vertices than faces.' Is this statement true or false?
False- the number of vertices is always less than the number of faces.
False- the number of vertices is always the same as the number of faces.
True- but it is not possible to have less vertices than faces.
Q3.
