Aim: How do we identify solids ?

Aim: How do we identify solids ?

    Solid Geometry: Solid geometry is the geometry of 3-dimensional space.
Properties:
  • Volume
  • Surface Area
Two Main types of solid:
  1. Polyhedra
  2. Non-Polyhedra
Polyhedra: Flat Surface
  • Prism                       
  • Pyramids
  • Platonic solids
Non-Polyhedra: If any surface is not flat
  • Sphere
  • Torus
  • Cylinder
  • Cone
Prisms: Has the same cross section all along its length
Cross sections: The shape you get when you cut straight down
Surface Area: The area of the bases + the Lateral Area ( area of the side)
