Worksheet on Geometric Shapes and Solids for Class 5

Solved Questions on Geometric Shapes and Solids

1. What kind of angle do the clock hands make at 7:10?

a) Acute angle
b)Obtuse angle
c) Right angle
d) Straight angle

Answer: b) Obtuse angle

Explanation: 7:10 is shown as:

An obtuse angle is an angle that is more than 90° but less than 180°. Since the angle between the minute and hour hands is greater than 90°, it is an obtuse angle.

2. Which of the following shapes has only 1 pair of parallel lines?

a) Square
b) Parallelogram
c) Trapezium
d) Rectangle

Answer: c) Trapezium

Explanation: The given shapes are shown as:

a) Square - 

b) Parallelogram - 

c) Trapezium - 

d) Rectangle - 

Squares, rectangles, and parallelograms each have two pairs of parallel sides, while a trapezium has only one pair of parallel sides.

3. Which 3D shape has exactly one vertex and one circular face?

a) Cylinder
b) Cube
c) Cone
d) Sphere

Correct Answer: c) Cone

Explanation: The 3D shapes are shown as: 

a) Cylinder - 

b) Cube - 

c) Cone - 

d) Sphere - 

We can see that only a cone has exactly one vertex and one circular face.

4. How many rays can be drawn from one point?

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) Infinite

Correct Answer: d) Infinite

Explanation: We can draw an infinite number of rays from one point.

5. Find the radius of the circle whose diameter is 8.2 cm.

a) 4.1 cm
b) 4.2 cm
c) 4 cm
d) 3.6 cm

Correct Answer: a) 4.1 cm

Explanation: We know that the radius is half of the diameter.

Radius = diameter/2
            = 8.2/2 cm
            = 4.1 cm
