Lesson Objective: Use models to relate solid figures to plane figures.

Solid Figures

Definition: Solid shapes are three-dimensional shapes.

 Solid shapes have faces, vertices, and edges.

For Example: In a cube there are:

8 vertices
6 faces
12 edges

We will study some solids and its properties:

obtuse faces Example in

6 faces (each
Cube is a square) 12 8

6faces
Rectangular (rectangles 12 8
prism and square)
Triangular 3 faces and 1
pyramid base has 3 6 4

3 faces and 2
Triangular bases each 9 6
prism has 3 sides
1 circular
Cone base Zero 1

2 bases
Cylinder ( each is a Zero Zero
circle)

Sphere Zero Zero Zero
