Chp. 10 Lesson 5 –Solid Figures

PARTS OF THREE DIMENSIONAL FIGURES

face – the polygons that form the solid figure.

 

edge – the segments where the faces of a figure meet.

 

vertex – the point where edges meet. (The plural is vertices.)

edges

face

vertex

COUNTING FACES, EDGES & VERTICES EX.Ex. Count the number of faces, edges, and vertices of the

square pyramid shown.

faces:

5

edges:

8

vertices:

5

CLASSIFYING SOLIDS

prism – a solid with two parallel bases that are congruent polygons.

Ex. rectangular prism and triangular prism

cylinder – a solid with two parallel bases that are congruent circles.

Ex.

 

pyramid – a solid made with polygons. The base can be any polygon, and the other

polygons are triangles that share a common vertex.

Ex.

CLASSIFYING SOLIDS CONTINUED

cone – a solid with one circular base and a vertex that is not in the same plane.

Ex.

 

sphere – the set of all points that are the same distance from a pointed called the

center.

Ex.

HOW TO DRAW A SOLID

Draw a triangular prism. (textbook pg. 542)

(1) Draw the congruent bases

(2) Connect the corresponding vertices.

(3) Make hidden lines by partially erasing lines.
