Understanding Three-Dimensional Figures

This video tutorial explains the concepts of dimensions in geometry, focusing on one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional figures. It describes the characteristics of 3D figures, including faces, edges, vertices, and height. The tutorial also covers the definitions and examples of prisms and pyramids, highlighting the differences between them. By the end of the lesson, viewers will understand how to identify and describe the parts of three-dimensional figures.

What is a characteristic of a one-dimensional figure?

• It has length and width.

• It has only length.

• It has width and height.

• It has length, width, and height.

Which of the following is true about two-dimensional figures?

• They have length, width, and height.

• They have only width.

• They have length and width.

• They have only height.

What is a key feature of a three-dimensional figure?

• It is always a polygon.

• It has only width and height.

• It has length, width, and height.

• It can be represented in 1D.

What is a face in a three-dimensional figure?

• A point where edges meet.

• A flat surface on the figure.

• A line where two surfaces meet.

• A curved surface on the figure.

Where do two faces meet in a three-dimensional figure?

• At a vertex.

• At a base.

• At an edge.

• At a face.

What is a vertex in a three-dimensional figure?

• A flat surface.

• A point where three edges meet.

• A line where two faces meet.

• A curved surface.

What distinguishes a prism from a pyramid?

• A prism has only one base.

• A pyramid has two parallel bases.

• A prism has two parallel congruent bases.

• A pyramid has no bases.

Which of the following is an example of a prism?

• A shape with two parallel congruent polygonal bases.

• A shape with only curved surfaces.

• A shape with no edges.

• A shape with one base and a vertex.

What is the height of a prism?

• The distance between its bases.

• The length of its longest edge.

• The perimeter of its base.

• The width of its base.

How is the height of a prism oriented in relation to its base?

• At an angle to the base.

• Perpendicular to the base.

• Parallel to the base.

• Curved around the base.
