Notes 5: SOLID FIGURES

Space Figures are figures that are no flat. They are sometimes called solids. The space figures
have faces, edges, and vertices.
Polyhedrons are three-dimensional figures with flat surfaces or faces. Each face is a polygon.

Two Examples of Polyhedron

1. Prisms is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent bases. All other faces are
parallelograms.

Rectangular Prism
Pentagonal Prism
5 faces 6 faces 7 faces
9 edges 12 edges 15 edges
6 vertices 8 vertices 10 vertices

2. Pyramid has one base. The other faces triangular regions.

5 faces 4 faces 7 faces

8 edges 6 edges 12 edges
5 vertices 4 vertices 7 vertices

Rectangular- based pyramid

5 faces
8 edges
5 vertices
 Cube is a regular polyhedron. It has six faces. All the faces of a cube are squares.

6 faces
12 edges
8 vertices

Cylinder, cones, and sphere are nor polyhedron because they have curved, not flat surfaces.

Cylinder has two parallel, congruent bases that are circles.

Cone has one circular base and vertex that is not on the base.
Sphere is a space figures having all its point on equal distance from the points.

Cylinder Cone Sphere

2 flat surfaces 1 curved/flat surface 1 curved surface
2 circular bases 1 vertex No edges, bases, or vertex
1 curved surface 1 circular base

These space figures have 0 edges and 0 faces. Each has a curved surface

A face is a flat surface surrounded by line segments.

Edge two faces meet at a line segment.
Three or more edges meet at vertex.
*The flat faces are circles and curved face is a rectangle (when flattened

Nets of Solid figures

A net is a 2-dimensional shape that can be folded to make a solid figure.
