GEOMETRIC FIGURES
The geometric figures commonly used in drawing pictures are line, angles, triangles,
quadrilaterals, regular polygons, circles, arc and solids.
SOLID. A solid is a three-dimensional figure. The three dimensions are the length, width and height.
The following are the different kinds of solids.
1. Sphere is a three-dimensional figure whose points are located at a constant distance away from
the center.
2. Prism is a three-dimensional figure with a polygonal base and triangular lateral faces.
3. Cube is a prism whose faces are congruent squares. An example of a cube is a dice.
4. Cylinder is a solid figure with two circular bases in parallel plane and parallel line segments
connecting to these bases. An example of a cylinder is a tin can.
5. Cone is a solid figure with a circular base and a surface formed by line segments joining every
point on the edge of the base to a common point in a parallel plane.
6. Tetrahedron is a solid figure composed of four equilateral triangles.
7. Dodecahedron is a solid figure bounded by twelve equal regular pentagons.
8. Icosahedron is a solid figure bounded by twenty equilateral triangles.
