Solid shapes
A solid shape is a 3-dimensional shape, one that has depth, width and breadth. Examples: pyramids, cubes and spheres .(such as a ball)
One - Dimensional Shapes
A figure that has only length is called One–
Dimensional Figure. For example line, line segments, ray, etc. One-dimensional figure does not have any width or thickness.
Two – Dimensional Shapes
The shape of an object located in some space is a geometrical description of the part of that space occupied by the object, as determined by its external boundary – abstracting from location and orientation in space, size.
Three-Dimensional Shapes
.
A 3D figure is a figure that has height, depth, and width. Such a figure does not lie entirely in a plane. The "3" in 3D refers to the number of dimensions. The "D" stands for dimension, which is an axis in a coordinate system.
Prism
A solid geometric figure whose two ends are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.
Pyramid
In geometry, a pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle. It is a conic solid with polygonal base. A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges.
Platonic Solids
A Platonic solid is a solid such that all of its faces are congruent regular polygons and the same number of regular polygons meet at each vertex.
Tetrahedron
In geometry, a tetrahedron is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, three of which meet at each corner or vertex. It has six edges and four vertices. The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra and the only one that has four faces.
Hexahedron
A hexahedron is any polyhedron with six faces. A cube, for example, is a regular hexahedron with all its faces square, and three squares around each vertex.
Dodecahedron
In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat
