Identify 3D Solids & Nets

Front

What is a 3D solid?

Back

A three-dimensional (3D) solid is a shape that has length, width, and height, occupying space in three dimensions.

Front

Define a triangular prism.

Back

A triangular prism is a 3D solid with two triangular bases and three rectangular faces connecting the corresponding sides of the triangles.

Front

What is a rectangular prism?

Back

A rectangular prism is a 3D solid with six rectangular faces, where opposite faces are equal.

Front

Identify the properties of a cube.

Back

A cube is a special type of rectangular prism where all six faces are squares, and all edges are of equal length.

Front

What is a cylinder?

Back

A cylinder is a 3D solid with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.

Front

Define a cone.

Back

A cone is a 3D solid with a circular base and a single vertex, tapering smoothly from the base to the vertex.

Front

What is a pyramid?

Back

A pyramid is a 3D solid with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a common vertex.

Front

Differentiate between a square pyramid and a triangular pyramid.

Back

A square pyramid has a square base and four triangular faces, while a triangular pyramid has a triangular base and three triangular faces.

Front

What is a sphere?

Back

A sphere is a perfectly round 3D solid where every point on the surface is equidistant from the center.

Front

Explain the concept of nets in relation to 3D solids.

Back

A net is a two-dimensional representation of a 3D solid that can be folded to form the solid.
