3D shapes properties
3D shapes usually have faces (sides), edges (borders), and vertices (corners).
Cube (regular hexahedron) Show/Hide
6 square faces
8 vertices
12 edges
height = width = depth
Cuboid Show/Hide
6 faces (rectangles)
8 vertices
12 edges
Prism Show/Hide
A prism is a three-dimensional shape that has two bases that are parallel and the same size and shape.
Triangular Prism Show/Hide
5 plane faces
(2 triangular, 3 rectangular)
6 vertices
9 edges
Only the bases are parallel.
Rectangular Prism Show/Hide
6 rectangular faces
8 vertices
12 edges
Opposite faces are parallel.
Pentagonal Prism
7 faces
(2 pentagonal, 5 rectangular)
10 vertices
15 edges.
Triangular based pyramid
(tetrahedron)
Four equilateral triangles
4 Faces
4 vertices
6 edges
Square based pyramid
5 faces (1 square base and 4 triangular)
5 vertices
8 edges
Sphere
It is perfectly symmetrical.
It has no edges or vertices.
A sphere has all points on it equal distanced from its centre.
Cylinder
3 faces (the circles on the top and bottom and the circular face)
Cone
1 circular base
1 vertex
0 edges
