Geometric Figures
Space figure
A space figure is a three-dimensional geometric figure, or a figure that has
length, width and height. It often occupies space and has volume when the figure
is closed.
Example
The tent shown below is in the shape of a triangular prism. The drawing depicts
the three dimensions of a triangular prism.
Plane figure
A plane figure is a two-dimensional geometric figure.It has no thickness and lies
entirely in one plane.
Example
The triangular prism shown below has plane figures for faces. Two of these faces
are triangles.
Points
In the triangle above, the vertices are labeled A, B, and C. These points could be
called zero-dimensional geometric figures because they do not occupy space.
