1. Types of Solid Figures Prisms, pyramids and cylinders…oh my!

2. Solids A solid is a three dimensional figure that encloses a part of space.A solid is a three dimensional figure that encloses a part of space. Solids are classified by their bases and number of vertices.Solids are classified by their bases and number of vertices.

3. A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices

4. Prisms A prism is a solids with two parallel bases that are congruent polygonsA prism is a solids with two parallel bases that are congruent polygons

5. When we think of pyramids we think of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. They are actually Square Pyramids, because their base is a Square.

6. Pyramids A pyramid is a solid made of polygons. The base can be any polygons and the other faces are all triangles that share a common vertex (also called the apex).A pyramid is a solid made of polygons. The base can be any polygons and the other faces are all triangles that share a common vertex (also called the apex).

8. Cylinders A cylinder is a solid with two parallel bases that are congruent circlesA cylinder is a solid with two parallel bases that are congruent circles Volume = Area × Height = π × r 2 × h

9. Cones: A cone is a solid that has one circular base and a vertex that is not in the same plane

10. Sphere: The set of all points that are the same distance from a point in the center.
