Lesson: solid figures

Learning Competency:
 Describe the different solid figures: cube, prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and
sphere.
LS3MP-G-PSC-AE-50

In our daily lives, we do not notice that we are dealing with geometric
shapes. How do you describe the shape of your notebook? Is it similar to the
shape of this module? What is the shape of the house? How many sides does
it has? These are only some of the questions that this module will answer?

After studying this lesson, you should be able to:

♦ define what space figures are; and
♦ identify the different kinds of space figures.

 Let’s learn

Space figures or three-dimensional figures are figures that have depth in addition to width
and height. Some common simple space figures include cubes, spheres, cylinders, prisms,
cones and pyramids.

Cube—This is a three-dimensional figure having six

matching square sides.

An example of this is a box.

Cylinder—This is a space figure having two congruent

circular bases that are parallel.

An example of this is a
pitcher or a drinking
glass.

Sphere—This is a space figure having all of its points the

same distance from its center.

An example of this is a basketball.

5
Cone—This is a space figure having a circular base and a single vertex.

An example of this is an ice cream cone.

Pyramid—This is a space figure with a square base and four

triangular-shaped sides.

Examples of this are the

pyramids of
Egypt.

Tetrahedron—This is a four-sided space figure. Each of its

faces is a triangle.

An example of this is the

Tetra Pak some commercial fruit
Zip juice.

Prism—This is a space figure with two congruent parallel

bases that are polygons. The most common kind of this
figure is the triangular prism.

An example of this is the box

that Toblerone is kept in.

Questions

1. Why might a pyramid-shaped roof on a house be better than a flat roof? A pyrimid-shaped
roof would allow water to run off of it more quickly. It can also reduce snow buildup.

2. List two reasons why cereal bowls are not shaped like cones. If a cereal bowl were cone-
shaped, you would not be able to lay it flat on a table while you eat. Also, there would be
cereal or milk in the tip of the cone that you wouldn't be able to reach with a spoon.

3. If you had some clay, would it be easier to form it into a sphere or a pyramid? Explain. It is
easier to form clay into a sphere because all you'd have to do it roll it in your hands. You
would have to measure and sculpt a pyramid, as well as make sure the faces are flat.

4. Explain why most sports are played with spherical balls. Spherical balls roll easily in any
direction. Also, balls with corners or flat sides might be more difficult to throw or catch.
