in a plane not parallel to the given line.
Cube is a regular solid with six square faces; also
known as regular hexahedron.
A parallelepiped is a three-dimensional geometric
solid with six faces that are parallelograms.
A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a Lateral Area
polygonal base and a point, called the apex or vertex.
Each base edge and apex form a triangle, called a
lateral face. It is a conic solid with polygonal base.
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that
tapers smoothly from a flat base to a point called
the apex or vertex. A cone is formed by a set of line
segments, half-lines, or lines connecting a common
point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that
is in a plane that does not contain the apex.

Frustum is the part of a conical solid left after
cutting off a top portion with a plane parallel to
the base. The part of a solid, as a cone or pyramid,

A cylindrical segment, sometimes also called a Lateral Area

A spherical segment is the solid defined by cutting a

thought of as a spherical cap with the top truncated,
