NCERT Solutions of Chapter: Visualising Solid Shapes. NCERT Solutions along with worksheets and notes for Class 7.
Exercise 15.1
(1) Identify the nets which can be used to make cubes (cut out copies of the nets and try it):
Ans-
Nets which can be used to make cubes are given below:
(We can get our cube by folding the nets in the order of numbers on it)
(2) 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.
Ans-
Suitable numbers in the blanks are showing below:-
(3) Can this be a net for a die?
Explain your answer.
(4)Here is an incomplete net for making a cube. Complete it in at least two different ways. Remember that a cube has six faces. How many are there in the net here? (Give two separate diagrams. If you like, you may use a squared sheet for easy manipulation)
Ans-
Required diagram of making a cube are given below:

Ans-
(a) A cuboid of dimensions 5 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm.
(i) An oblique sketch
(ii) An Isometric sketch
(b) A cube with an edge 4 cm long.
(i) An oblique sketch
(ii) An isometric sketch
(6) An isometric sheet is attached at the end of the book. You could try to make on it some cubes or cuboids of dimensions specified by your friend.
Ans-
Isometric sketches of the cubes and cuboids are given below:
Exercise 15.3
(1) 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
Ans-
Required cross – sections of given solids are shown below:

(i) Vertical cut
We will get a rectangle after vertical cut of a brick.
(ii) Horizontal cut
We will get a rectangle after horizontal cut of a brick.
(b) A round apple
(i) Vertical cut
We will get a circle after vertical cut of a round apple.
(ii) Horizontal cut
We will get a circle after horizontal cut of a round apple.
(c) A die
(i) Vertical Cut
We will get a square after vertical cut of a die.
(ii) Horizontal cut
We will get a square after horizontal cut of a die.
(d) A circular pipe
(i) Vertical cut
We will get a rectangle after vertical cut of a circular pipe.
(ii) Horizontal cut
We will get a circle after horizontal cut of a circular pipe.
(e) An ice cream cone
(i) Vertical cut
We will get a triangle after vertical cut of an ice cream cone.
(ii) Horizontal cut
We will get a hollow circle after horizontal cut of an ice cream cone.
