FAQs on NCERT Solutions For Class 7 Maths Chapter 13 Visualising Solid Shapes Exercise 13.3 - 2025-26
1. Where can I find accurate, step-by-step NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 13 for the 2025-26 session?
You can find detailed and accurate NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 13, Visualising Solid Shapes, on Vedantu's platform. These solutions are prepared by subject matter experts and are fully aligned with the latest CBSE 2025-26 syllabus, providing step-by-step guidance for every question in the textbook exercises.
2. What is the correct method to identify the top, front, and side views of solid shapes as per the NCERT exercises?
The correct method to identify the different views of a solid shape involves imagining yourself looking at the object from specific positions:
- For the top view, you must look directly down at the object from above.
- For the front view, you must look at the object from the front.
- For the side view, you must look at the object from one of its sides (left or right).
3. How do you correctly draw 3D shapes on isometric dot paper as required in NCERT Class 7 Maths Chapter 13?
To correctly draw 3D shapes on isometric dot paper, you should follow the method outlined in the NCERT solutions. Start by drawing the front face of the object. Then, draw lines moving backwards and upwards from the vertices of the front face to represent the depth. The key is to keep the lines representing the length, breadth, and height aligned with the dots to maintain the correct proportions and create an accurate isometric sketch.
4. How is Euler's formula (F + V - E = 2) applied to solve problems in Chapter 13?
Euler's formula is applied to problems involving polyhedrons (solid shapes with flat faces). The step-by-step application is:
1. Identify the number of Faces (F), Vertices (V), and Edges (E) of the given solid.
2. Substitute the known values into the formula F + V - E = 2.
3. If one of the values is unknown, rearrange the formula to solve for it. For example, to find faces, you would use F = 2 - V + E. This formula is a reliable way to verify the properties of a polyhedron or find a missing value.
5. Why is it important to learn about the nets of solids in Chapter 13?
Understanding the net of a solid is fundamentally important because it connects 2D geometry with 3D shapes. A net is the 2D pattern that can be folded to form a 3D solid. This concept is not just for visualising the shape but is a crucial foundation for later chapters on Mensuration. By understanding how a shape unfolds into its net, you can more easily calculate its total surface area in higher classes.
6. Can Euler's formula be used for all 3D shapes? What are its limitations according to the NCERT syllabus?
No, Euler's formula cannot be used for all 3D shapes. A critical limitation highlighted in the NCERT syllabus is that the formula F + V - E = 2 is valid only for polyhedrons—which are solid shapes with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and sharp corners (vertices). It does not apply to shapes with curved surfaces, such as spheres, cones, or cylinders, as these do not have faces, edges, and vertices in the same sense.
7. What is the difference between an isometric sketch and an oblique sketch, and why are both taught in this chapter?
The primary difference lies in their construction and appearance:
- An isometric sketch is drawn on isometric dot paper, and it shows the object's measurements proportionally. The angles between the axes appear as 120 degrees.
- An oblique sketch is drawn on squared paper. The front face is drawn true to size, but the depth lines are drawn at a 45-degree angle and are not necessarily proportional.
