Visualising Solid Shapes - Yogyasri 7E

The document explains the differences between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes, highlighting that 2D shapes have only length and width while 3D shapes also include height, allowing them to occupy space. It details the components of 3D shapes such as faces, edges, vertices, bases, and apexes, along with examples of 2D shapes like rectangles and triangles, and 3D shapes like cubes and spheres. The document serves as an educational resource on the visualization and characteristics of solid shapes.

2D and 3D Shapes
◦ Two-dimensional figures: Two-dimensional (2D) figures are flat shapes that exist in a
plane and have only two dimensions: length and width. They lack depth or
thickness, so they cannot occupy space like three-dimensional objects. These
shapes can be drawn on flat surfaces like paper or computer screens.

◦ Three-dimensional figures: Three-dimensional (3D) figures are solid shapes that


exist in the real world, having not just two, but three glorious dimensions:
length, width, and the all-important height (or depth). These figures are full-
bodied shapes that don’t just sit flat on a page but rise boldly into space, ready to
be seen, touched, and admired from every angle!
Difference between 2D and 3D Shapes

Two Dimensional Three Dimensional


Figures Figures
Have only two dimensions—length and width. Have only two dimensions—length and width.

Are flat and only have area and perimeter. Are solid and have volume, surface area, and
sometimes curved or flat faces.

Can be fully drawn on a flat surface like paper. Extend into space and can be seen from
multiple perspectives, often requiring
shading or perspective techniques to
represent flat surfaces.
Different Parts of a
•Face: Shape
•A flat surface of a 3D shape.
•Example: A cube has 6 faces, each of which is a square.
•Faces can be polygons (like squares, rectangles, or triangles) or curved (like the surface of a sphere or cylinder).
•Edge:
•A line segment where two faces meet.
•Example: A cube has 12 edges connecting its faces.
•Vertex (plural: Vertices):
•A point where edges meet.
•Example: A cube has 8 vertices.
•Base:
•The bottom face of a 3D shape, often used as the reference face. Some shapes (like cylinders or cones) may have one or two bases.
•Example: A pyramid has one base, while a cylinder has two.
•Apex:
•The highest point of a 3D shape, often where edges converge, such as in a cone or pyramid.
•Example: The tip of a cone is the apex.
•Curved Surface:
•Found in some 3D shapes, such as cylinders, spheres, and cones. It's not flat like a face but continuous and smooth.
•Example: The side of a soda can (cylinder) is a curved surface.
Examples of 2D Shapes
◦ 1. Rectangle
◦ Parts:
• Sides: The straight line segments that form the boundary (4 sides: 2 pairs of equal lengths).
• Vertices: The points where two sides meet (4 vertices).
• Diagonals: The line segments connecting opposite vertices inside the rectangle (2 diagonals).

◦ 2. Triangle
◦ Parts:
• Sides: The three straight line segments that form the boundary (3 sides).
• Vertices: The points where two sides meet (3 vertices).
• Base: Any one of its sides can be chosen as the reference base.
• Height: The perpendicular distance from a vertex opposite the base to the base itself.
Examples of 3D Shapes
◦ 1. Cube
◦ Parts:
• Faces: Flat surfaces (6 square faces).
• Edges: Line segments where two faces meet (12 edges).
• Vertices: Points where three edges meet (8 vertices).
• Diagonals: Line segments connecting opposite corners across a face (face diagonals) or through the interior
of the cube (space diagonals).

◦ 2. Sphere
◦ Parts:
• Surface: The continuous, curved boundary of the sphere.
• Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the surface.
• Diameter: The longest distance across the sphere, passing through the center (2 times the radius).
• Center: The fixed point equidistant from all points on the surface.
