GCSE Maths Practice: 3d-shapes-and-nets

Question 6 of 10

Identify the 3D shape with no vertices.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which 3D shape has no vertices?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Remember: a vertex is a corner; spheres have none.

A sphere is a perfectly round 3D object with no flat faces, edges, or vertices. Unlike polyhedra, which have corners and edges, a sphere’s surface is continuous and curved. Understanding the characteristics of spheres is essential for geometry, including volume, surface area calculations, and distinguishing shapes. Practicing identification of shapes by their properties helps in visual reasoning and problem-solving. Use diagrams or physical models to better visualize spheres versus other 3D solids like cubes or pyramids.
