Visualizing and Describing
1 the Different Solid Figures
What’s In
A polygon is a simple closed figure formed by union of line segments. The line
segments forming a polygon are called sides. The point where two sides meet is called
vertex.
leg side
side side
The name of the polygons tells us how many sides, vertices (plural form for
vertex) and angles it has.
A regular polygon has all sides equal in length and all the angles are of equal
measures, while irregular polygons can have sides of any length and angles can be
of any measure.

What’s New
Andrew is helping her mother clean the kitchen cabinet. While rearranging
the food display in the cabinet, he noticed that the containers have different shapes.
There are sardines, corned beef and tuna in cans, and condiments in bottles. There
are also milk in boxes, boxes of toothpaste and bar of soaps. Can you tell what shapes
do these objects have?
8
What Is It
All the things that we see inside and outside our houses come in different
shapes. Canned goods like sardines are cylindrical in shape, the box of milk, box of
toothpaste and bar of soap come in the shape of a rectangular prism. The ice on the
freezer are cube in shape. The balls we use for playing and the coconut fruits on the
tree are spherical in shapes. The tent we use for camping may come in the shape of
a triangular prism or a pyramid. These figures are called solid figures.
Solid figures are figures that have three dimensions such as length, width,
and height.

A cube is also a prism.
C. Pyramid- is a solid figure made up of base and triangular faces. These faces
meet at a common topmost point called the vertex. The vertex is also called the
apex of the pyramid. The edges that meet at the vertex are called lateral edges.
A regular pyramid is a pyramid with a regular base and with lateral edges of
equal length.

towards the top. The pointed top end of the cone is called the apex.

called its center and these points form a curved surface as well.

Lesson
Differentiating Solid Figures
2 from Plane Figures
All the things that we see around us are associated with shapes. And the way
we name a person in order to differentiate them from the others, we also need to
learn the terms that we will be using in order to differentiate the plane and solid
figures around us.
What’s In
Solid figures like prisms and pyramids are called polyhedrons because the
faces are polygons. These kinds of solid figures have faces, edges and vertices.
Face is the flat surface of a solid figure, edge is a line segment formed when
two faces meet and vertex/vertices are point/points where the edges meet.
Some solid figures like the cone, cylinder and sphere have curved surfaces
and has no edges.
Directions: Can you name the following solid figures? Write your answers on a sheet
of paper.

What’s New
What is It
Plane figure is a geometric figure that is flat whose points lie on the same
surface. It has no thickness, only length and width that it is why it is called
two-dimensional shape. It can be composed of a straight line, curved line, or both
straight and curved lines.
16
Plane figures are categorized into two: Open figure and Closed Figure.
Open figure has at least one Closed figure has no break. The line
endpoint, and one side is not connected segments or curves are continuous
to the rest. Example of this are line forming a closed shape. A closed figure
segments, curves, and angles. has an area and perimeter.
Closed figures are further categorized into polygonal plane figures and non-
polygonal plane figures.
Closed figures or polygons are bounded by line segments. These line
segments are its sides and the endpoints of the sides of a polygon are its vertices.
Polygonal plane figures are closed figures formed by line segments. A polygon
has at least three sides. Examples of polygons are triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon
and all the n-sided polygon.
17
Solid figure, on the other hand, is a closed figure that has three dimensions,
the length, width and height.
Solid Figures with Straight Faces Solid Figures with Curved Faces
The solid figures above have sides The solid figures with curved faces
called faces. When these faces meet and have no edges. The cylinder having 2
form a line segment, it’s called edges. circular bases and a curved lateral face.
And each endpoint of an edge is called a The cone which has a circular base and
vertex. These are prisms, cube and a curved surface pointed towards the
pyramids. top or apex. The sphere which has all
points with equal distance from the
center forming a curved surface.
Let us compare plane figures and solid figures through the given table.
After learning about the difference of plane figures and solid figures, we can
help Martin in identifying the terms he will use to categorize the shapes.

Lesson
Identifying the Faces
3 of a Solid Figure
A solid figure can be defined by the number and combination of its faces, edges,
vertices.
What’s In
Direction: Separate the plane figures from solid figures by writing them inside their
specific boxes. Put your answers on a sheet of paper.

What’s New
What do you do for the unused art materials you have at home?
After cleaning her study table, Jamil found unused art papers and stickers. She
remembered her lesson about solid figures and came out with an idea. She planned
of making party hats for her niece’s birthday this coming weekend. How can she
start working on the hats? Will she be able to finish them before the birthday?
What Is It
For Jamil to finish her party hats, she needs to know the different nets of solid
figures. But what are nets?
When a three-dimensional figure is laid out flat and the faces are all shown,
we can see a pattern and that is the net of the solid figure. The net can be folded to
form the solid shape.
Remember that solid figures have polygons as faces, and when these faces
come together, they form a line segment called the edges, then the point where the
edges meet is the vertex.
vertex
face
edge
six squares

2. Net of A Rectangular Prism - a rectangular prism has 6 faces.
face
edge vertex
six rectangles
3. Net of A Triangular Prism- a triangular prism has 5 faces.
face
edge
three rectangles and two triangles
vertex
4. Pyramid - the number of triangular faces of a pyramid depends on the shape of
the base.
Rectangular Pyramid
vertex
face
lateral edge
base
one rectangular base and four
triangular faces
Square Pyramid
vertex
base
face

curved surface
lateral
surface
circular base
7. Sphere- a sphere has a net, they are curved shapes called ellipses.
ellipses
Now that you also learned about the nets of solid figures, we can help Jamil
finish her party hats before the birthday. It will be easier for her to cut a pattern for
the cone and remove the circular base so it will be open and become a party hat.
Take note!

Additional Activities
In this part, we will be applying all the things we learned about solid figures.
We will be making a customized robot using the different solid figures.
On a sheet of paper, make a drawing of how your robot would look like. You
can choose the solid figures to be used. Draw the nets of the figure in a cardboard
(recycle), then cut the pattern and fold to come out with the desired figure. After
making all the needed solid figures, assemble them to build your robot. Think of a
name for your robot. You can do it!
