Explanation: 1 Mark each
(i) A prism becomes a cylinder whenthe number of sides increases.
(ii) Whenthe number of sides of the pyramid increases, itbecomes a cone.

Each part: 2 Marks
(a) There are 3 vertical columns of sugar bags in this box.
The first column has 9 bags of which 5 can be seen and the other 4 are completely hidden.
The second column has 6 bags of which 4 can be seen, and similarly, the third column has 3 bags.
So, the total number of bags = 9 + 6 + 3 = 18.
(b) Now, in the second column, we can see that there is space for 3 more bags and the third column has space for 6 more bags.
The remaining space can be filled with 2 more vertical columns, each having 9 bags.
So, there is a space in the box for 3+6+(9×2)=9+18=27 more bags.
Question 53. If we have a polyhedron, which of the following is true about its faces? Explain. [3 MARKS]
(i) It has 3 triangular faces.
(ii) It has 4 triangular faces.
(iii) It has 1 square and 4 triangular faces.
 Discuss Question

:
Solution: 1 Mark each
A polyhedron is a solid with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and vertices.
(i) This is not true. The minimum number of faces a polyhedron can have is 4. Hence 3 triangles cannot be the faces of a polyhedron.
(ii) This is true. Apolyhedron with 4 triangles as faces is known as a regular tetrahedron.
(iii) This is true. Apolyhedron with 1 square and 4 triangular faces is known as a square pyramid.
Question 54. What is a 3-D shape and a 2-D shape? Give examples.  [3 MARKS]

:
Definition: 2 Marks
Example: 1 Mark
A shape that has only two dimensions (such as width and height) and no thicknessis known as 2-D shape.In 2-D shapes, the sides are made of straight and curved lines.
Example: squares, circles, triangles
A 3-D shape is a solid which enclosesvolume and has length, breadth and height.3-D shapes have four properties that set them apart from 2-D shapes: faces, vertices, edgesand volume.
Example: sphere, cylinder, cube
Question 55. (a) Are sphere, cone and cylinder polyhedrons? Give reason for your answer.  
(b) Match the 2-D figures with their names.

[4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each part: 2 Marks
(a) Sphere, cone and cylinder are not polyhedrons.
Sphere: Sphere has only one curved face and no polygons as faces. So it is not apolyhedron.
Cone: Cone has one circular face and the remaining part is a curved surface. So it is not apolyhedron.
Cylinder:Cylinderhas two circular faces and the remaining part is a curved surface. So it is not apolyhedron.
(b) (i) - (b)
(ii) - (a)
(iii) - (e)
(iv) - (c)
(v) - (d)
Question 56. How are prisms and cylinders as well as pyramids and cones alike? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Explanation: 1 Mark each
Acylindercan be thought of as a circular prism that is a prism with a circle as its base.
Aconecan be thought of a circular pyramid that is a pyramid with a circle as its base.
Question 57. Is a square prism same as a cube? Give reason.  [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Explanation: 2 Marks
A square prism has a square as its base. However, its height is not necessarily same as the side of the square.
Thus, a square prism can also be a cuboid.
All cubes are square prism but all square prisms need not be cubes.

Question 59. We have 4 congruent equilateral triangles. What else do we need to make a pyramid?  [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
We need a square with same side length as that of the triangle. The resultant solid is known as a square pyramid.
Question 60. There are 18 boxes on a shelf.  
There Are 18 Boxes On A Shelf.  (a) How Many Boxes In Tota...
(a) How many boxes in total can be kept on the shelf without leaving any space?
(b) If the length and height of the shelf are doubled, how many boxes can be kept on the shelf now without leaving any space? 
(c) If the length is halved and height of the shelf is doubled, how many boxes can be kept on the shelf now without leaving any space? 
(d) If the length is doubled and height of the shelf is halved, how many boxes can be kept on the shelf now without leaving any space?

:
Each part: 1 Mark
From visual estimation, each column contains 4 boxes.
There Are 18 Boxes On A Shelf.  (a) How Many Boxes In Tota...
(a) 6 columns can be fit in the shelf.
In the 5th column, there is space for 2 more boxes.
and in the 6th column, there is space for 4 boxes.
Number of boxes on the full shelf = 18 + 2 + 4 = 24 boxes
(b) If the length of the shelf is doubled, the shelf can have 12 columns.
If the height of the shelf is doubled, then each column can have 8 boxes.
Total number of boxes on the full new shelf:
= 12×8
= 96 boxes
(c)If the length of the shelf is halved, the shelf can have 3 columns.
If the height of the shelf is doubled, then each column can have 8 boxes
Total number of boxes on the full new shelf:
= 3×8
= 24 boxes
(d) If the length of the shelf is doubled, the shelf can have 12 columns.
If the height of the shelf is doubled, then each column can have 4 boxes.
Total number of boxes on the full new shelf:
= 12×4
= 48 boxes
