Solid Fun
A two-dimensional (width, length) pattern of a three-dimensional solid.
What is a net?
The intersection of two faces of a polyhedron, connecting vertices.
What is an edge?
This shape has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.
What is a a rectangular prism?
A = bh
What is the formula for the area of a rectangle or a parallelogram?
A special side of a polygon used to compute area (often the side on the "bottom" but not always!).
What is the base?
A solid 3-dimensional object with two identical ends and flat sides. The shape of the ends gives the shape its name. The sides are all parallelograms.
What is a prism?
One of the two-dimensional polygons that make up the surface area of a polyhedron.
What is a face?
This shape has 6 identical faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.
What is a square prism or a cube?
A = s^2 (side squared)
What is the formula for the area of a square?
What is height?
A geometric solid that has a base, which can be any polygon, and three or more triangular faces that all meet at a single point.
What is a pyramid?
The single point at which all of the triangular faces of a pyramid meet.
What is the apex?
This three-dimensional object has 8 faces, 18 edges and 12 vertices.
What is a hexagonal prism?
A = bh/2
What is the formula for the area of a triangle?
The continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometric figure measured in single units.
What is perimeter?
The amount of space contained within a closed three-dimensional object; measured in cubic units.
What is volume?
The single point at which three edges meet in a prism or a pyramid.
What is a vertex?
This shape has three identical faces and two identical bases, with nine edges and six vertices.
What is a triangular prism?
A = pi times the radius squared
What is the formula for the area of a circle?
Having the same proportional shape; corresponding sides, and equal angles.
What is similar?
The amount of space covering the outside of a 3-dimensional shape; measured in square units.
What is surface area?
A three-dimensional solid with flat places, using the Greek roots for "many" and "face."
What is a polyhedron?
This shape has 4 identical faces, six edges and four vertices.
What is a triangular pyramid?
A = h(b1 x b2)/2
What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?
Geometric figures having the same size and shape (sides are the same length and interior angles have the same measure).
What is congruent?
