What is a vertex?

A vertex is a point where two or more lines, edges, or curves meet in mathematics. It is a corner or a point where the geometrical elements intersect, such as in a polygon or a polyhedron.

What is an edge?

In general, an edge refers to the boundary or line where two surfaces or shapes meet in a geometric figure or structure. In computing and technology, an edge can also refer to the periphery of a network where data is processed and transmitted closer to the source, reducing latency and improving efficiency in data processing and analysis.

What is a face?

A face is the front part of a person's head, typically containing the eyes, nose, mouth, and other features used for sensing and expressing emotions, as well as for communication and identification.

What is a prism?

A prism is a three-dimensional shape with flat sides that are parallelograms, with two parallel bases that are identical polygons. Light passing through a prism is refracted, or bent, causing the colors of the light spectrum to separate, creating a rainbow effect. Prisms are commonly used in optics and physics for experiments involving light dispersion and refraction.

What is a pyramid?

A pyramid is a three-dimensional shape with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. It is often used to refer to ancient structures such as the Egyptian pyramids, which have a square base and four triangular faces, rising to a point at the top.

What is a cube?

A cube is a three-dimensional geometric shape with six square faces of equal size that meet at right angles. Each face of a cube is a perfect square, and all of its edges are of the same length.

What is a sphere?

A sphere is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is perfectly round and symmetrical, with all points on its surface equidistant from its center.

What is a cylinder?

A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape with a circular base and straight sides that are parallel to the base. It has two faces - one at the top and one at the bottom - and a lateral surface that connects the two faces. The volume of a cylinder is calculated by multiplying the area of its base by its height.

What is a cone?

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat, circular base to a point called the apex. It has a curved surface that extends from the base to the apex, with the base being a circle. Cones are commonly seen in everyday objects such as traffic cones, ice cream cones, and party hats.

What is a tetrahedron?

A tetrahedron is a geometric solid with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices. It is the simplest of the polyhedra and is a three-dimensional shape that resembles a pyramid with a triangular base.
