Geometric Solids A three dimensional figure that has three dimensions: length, width, and height. cylinder Rectangular prism cube pyramid cone
Some Vocabulary • Face: A flat surface of a three-dimensional figure. • Edge: The line where two faces meet. • Vertex: Thepoint where three or more edges meet. • Polyhedron: A 3-D figure whose faces are all polygons. • Base: The face that is used to name a polyhedron.
Pentagonal Prism Vertices (points) 10 Edges (lines) 15 Faces (planes) 7
Naming Polyhedrons Step 1: Identify the base of the solid. It will be used to name the polyhedron. Hint: It will be the name of a polygon. Step 2: Determine if the object is a prism or pyramid. Step 3: Name the polyhedron.
Naming Solids: Step 1 Identify the base of the solid. It will be used to name the polyhedron. Hint: It will be the name of a polygon. Example: There is one base, and it is a pentagon.
Naming Solids: Step 2 Determine if the object is a prism or pyramid.
Naming Solids: Step 2 Example: There is one base that is a polygon and there are five triangularfaces, which makes it a pyramid.
Naming Solids: Step 3 Name the polyhedron Combine what you found in Steps 1 and 2 to name the figure. Example: Base: Pentagon Faces: Pyramid Name: Pentagonal Pyramid
Not Polyhedrons Other three-dimensional figures include cylinders, cones, and spheres. These figures are not polyhedrons because they are not made of faces that are all polygons. Cylinders Cones Spheres
Naming Solids Activity • Use the list of names of the solids on the board. Work in your groups to match the name of the solid to its picture on your worksheet. • Once you have discovered the names of each solid, work in your groups to fill in the rest of the chart. • HINT: use your notes on steps to naming solids. You will have 15 minutes. Make sure to watch the clock. GOOD LUCK!
