What is a 3D geometric shape?

A 3D geometric shape is a solid figure that has three dimensions - length, width, and height. Unlike 2D shapes which only have length and width, 3D shapes are objects that occupy space and have volume. Examples of 3D geometric shapes include cubes, cylinders, spheres, cones, and pyramids.

What is the difference between a 2D and a 3D shape?

A 2D shape exists on a flat surface and has only two dimensions - length and width, while a 3D shape exists in space and has three dimensions - length, width, and depth. In simple terms, a 2D shape is like a drawing on a piece of paper, while a 3D shape is like a solid object that you can hold and feel.

Name three examples of 3D shapes.

Three examples of 3D shapes are a sphere, a cube, and a cylinder.

How many faces does a cube have?

A cube has six faces.

What is the shape of a sphere?

A sphere is a perfectly round three-dimensional object that is symmetrical in all directions, with each point on its surface equidistant from its center.

What is the difference between a cone and a cylinder?

The main difference between a cone and a cylinder is their shape. A cone has a circular base that tapers up to a single point called the apex, while a cylinder has two flat circular bases that are parallel to each other. Cones have a curved surface, whereas cylinders have a straight, uniform surface. Additionally, the volume and surface area formulas for cones and cylinders are different due to their distinctive shapes.

How many edges does a pyramid have?

A pyramid has a total of 8 edges – 4 triangular faces, each with 3 edges, and the base which is a square, with 4 edges, making a total of 12 edges.

Describe the shape of a rectangular prism.

A rectangular prism has six faces that are all rectangles. It has 12 edges, where each edge meets another edge at a right angle, and eight vertices where three edges meet. The opposite faces of a rectangular prism are parallel and equal in size, forming a three-dimensional shape with perpendicular sides.

What is the difference between a prism and a pyramid?

The main difference between a prism and a pyramid lies in their shapes: a prism has two congruent parallel bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces, while a pyramid has a polygonal base and triangular faces that converge to a single apex. Additionally, prisms are named based on the shape of their bases (e.g. rectangular prism, triangular prism), whereas pyramids are named after the shape of their base polygon (e.g. square pyramid, pentagonal pyramid).

How many vertices does a triangular pyramid have?

A triangular pyramid has four vertices - one for the apex at the top and three for the base triangle at the bottom.
