Three-Dimensional Figures
- Polyhedrons: 3-dimensional solids with all flat surfaces that enclose a single region of space
- Polyhedrons have faces, edges, and vertices
- Pyramid: A polyhedron that has all faces expect one intersecting at one point
- Cylinder: A solid with congruent bases in a pair of parallel planes
- Cone: A solid with a circular base and a vertex
- Sphere: A set of points in space that are a given distance from a given point
- Prism: A polyhedron with two opposite faces parallel and congruent
- Platonic Solids: The five types of regular polyhedral
- When a plane intersects, or slice, a solid figure, different shapes are formed
- If the plane is parallel to the base of the solid, then the intersection of a cross section of the solid
