An introduction to 3D shapes

2. You should recognise all of these solids:
Cube Cuboid
Prism Cylinder
Pyramid Cone
Sphere

3. Cube
Six square faces
Edges: vertices: 8
Common example: dice

4. Cuboid Six rectangular faces Edges: 12 vertices: 8
Common example: boxes

5. Prism Cross-sectional area is the same all through the shape.
Faces: 5 edges: 9 vertices: 6
(for a triangular prism)
Common example: Toblerone box

6. Cylinder Cross-sectional area is a circle.
Faces: 3 edges: 2 vertices: 0
Common example: soup tin

7. Pyramid Base is a polygon. Sides meet at a point
Faces: 5 edges: 8 vertices 5
(for a square-based pyramid)
Common example: Egyptian pyramids

8. Cone Base is a circle, narrowing to a point
Faces: 2 edges: 1 vertices: 1
Common example: some ice cream cones

9. Sphere Completely round solid Faces: 1 edges: 0 vertices: 0
Common example: football
