Geometry

Question 1

Metric System

Answer 1

Is a system of measurements that uses the metre, litre and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass).
As we move to the right, each unit is 10 times smaller.

Question 2

Perimeter

Answer 2

The distance around the outside of a 2D shape.

Question 3

Area

Answer 3

The space occupied by a flat 2D of an object, measured in unit squares.

Question 4

Volume

Answer 4

The amount of 3D space, measured in cubic units, that an object occupies.

Question 5

Surface Area

Answer 5

The total surface area of all the individual faces of a 3D object.

Question 6

Prism

Answer 6

Is a 3D shape with two identical shapes facing each other.
These identical shapes are called ‘bases’.
The other faces of a prism are rectangles.

Question 7

Face

Answer 7

Is a flat surface of a 3D shape.

Question 8

Edges

Answer 8

The line segment that joins two vertices together and boarders two faces.

Question 9

Vertices (Vertex)

Answer 9

The point where lines meet. Vertex means corner. Vertices is the plural.

Question 10

Net

Answer 10

A flat shape made up of the faces of a 3D object that can be folded up into a 3D solid.
