Chapter 9: Boxes and Sketches

Important Concepts:

1. 3D Shapes (Solid Shapes): Shapes that have length, breadth, and height are called 3-dimensional shapes
(e.g., cube, cuboid, cylinder, cone).
2. Face: A flat surface of a solid shape.
3. Edge: The line where two faces meet.
4. Corner (Vertex): A point where edges meet.
5. Cube: All sides are equal.
Faces = 6, Edges = 12, Corners = 8
6. Cuboid: Opposite faces are equal (like a box).
Faces = 6, Edges = 12, Corners = 8
7. Cylinder: 2 flat faces (top & bottom), 1 curved face, no corners
8. Cone: 1 flat face, 1 curved face, 1 corner (tip)
9. Net of a Box: A 2D shape that can be folded into a 3D box.
Helps to visualize how a solid is made.
10. Sketches:

 2D sketch = flat drawing (top view, front view, side view)


 3D sketch = shows shape with depth

Q1. Fill in the blanks:

a) A cube has ___ faces, ___ edges, and ___ corners.


b) A cuboid has ___ faces, ___ edges, and ___ corners.
c) A cylinder has ___ flat faces and ___ curved face.
d) A cone has ___ flat face and ___ corner.

✅ Answer:
a) 6, 12, 8
b) 6, 12, 8
c) 2, 1
d) 1, 1

Q2. Identify the shape:

a) A solid with 6 equal square faces → Cube


b) A box with different length, width, height → Cuboid
c) A solid with circular top and bottom and curved side → Cylinder
d) A solid with one curved surface, one flat base, and one point → Con

Q3. Match the objects with their shapes:

Object Shape
Dice Cube
Matchbox Cuboid
Cold drink can Cylinder
Ice cream cone Cone

Q4. How many small cubes are needed to make a cube of size 3 × 3 × 3?
Number of small cubes = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubes

Q5. Draw the net of a cube using 6 equal squares.
