Unit: Plane and Solid Figures Lesson 6: Explore Solid Figures Book: Mifflin
Lesson Objective: Use models to relate solid figures to plane figures.
Solid Figures
Definition: Solid shapes are three-dimensional shapes.
Solid shapes have faces, vertices, and edges.
For Example: In a cube there are:
8 vertices
6 faces
12 edges
We will study some solids and its properties:
obtuse faces Example in

6 faces (each
Cube is a square) 12 8
6faces
Rectangular (rectangles 12 8
prism and square)

3 faces and 2
Triangular bases each 9 6
prism has 3 sides
1 circular
Cone base Zero 1
2 bases
Cylinder ( each is a Zero Zero
circle)
Sphere Zero Zero Zero

You can use plane figures and line segments to draw solid figures.
Step 1 : Draw two rectangles of the same
size and shape like the ones
shown at the right.
Step 2 : Then connect the vertices of the
rectangles with line segments.
