List of top Mathematics Questions on Viewing Different Sections Of A Solid asked in CBSE Class VII

Here are the shadows of some 3-D objects, when seen under the lamp of an overhead projector. Identify the solid(s) that match each shadow. (There may be multiple answers for these!)

The dimensions of a cuboid are 5 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm. Draw three different isometric sketches of this cuboid.

Make an oblique sketch for each one of the given isometric shapes:

What cross-sections do you get when you give a
(i) vertical cut (ii) horizontal cut to the following solids?
(a) A brick (b) A round apple (c) A die (d) A circular pipe (e) An ice cream cone

Three cubes each with a 2 cm edge are placed side by side to form a cuboid. Sketch an oblique or isometric sketch of this cuboid.

Dice are cubes with dots on each face. Opposite faces of a die always have a total of seven dots on them. Here are two nets to make dice (cubes); the numbers inserted in each square indicate the number of dots in that box.
Insert suitable numbers in the blanks, remembering that the number on the opposite faces should total to 7.

Identify the nets which can be used to make cubes (cut out copies of the nets and try it):

A bulb is kept burning just right above the following solids. Name the shape of the shadows obtained in each case. Attempt to give a rough sketch of the shadow. (You may try to experiment first and then answer these questions).

Examine if the following are true statements:

1. The cube can cast a shadow in the shape of a rectangle.
2. The cube can cast a shadow in the shape of a hexagon.
