Consider the following statements about solids.

1. There are five regular polyhedra   2. The slant height of a cone exceeds its vertical height   3. A sphere appears as a circle of the same diameter in every view

  • A.1 and 3 only are correct
  • B.1, 2 and 3 are all correct
  • C.1 and 2 only are correct
  • D.2 and 3 only are correct

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1, 2 and 3 are all correct

All three hold. There are exactly five regular polyhedra - tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. The slant height of a right cone is \( \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \) and so always exceeds the vertical height. And a sphere presents the same circle of its own diameter whatever the direction of viewing.
