Thee-Dimensional Figures and their representations Chapter 1.7 and 12.1 Thee-Dimensional Figures and their representations

Vocabulary Polyhedron – a solid with all flat surfaces that enclose a single region of space Face – each flat surface of a polyhedron Edges – the line segments where faces intersect Vertex – the point where three or more edges intersect

Identify Solids Example 1 A. Determine whether the solid is a polyhedron. Then identify the solid. If it is a polyhedron, name the bases, faces, edges, and vertices.

Concept

Cross Section A cross section is the intersection of a solid and a plane

Identify Cross Sections of Solids Example 3 BAKERY A customer ordered a two-layer sheet cake. Determine the shape of each cross section of the cake below.

Example 3 A solid cone is going to be sliced so that the resulting flat portion can be dipped in paint and used to make prints of different shapes. How should the cone be sliced to make prints in the shape of a triangle? A. Cut the cone parallel to the base. B. Cut the cone perpendicular to the base through the vertex of the cone. C. Cut the cone perpendicular to the base, but not through the vertex. D. Cut the cone at an angle to the base.
