Look at page 193 in your explorations book. Ignore the letters--they are not used for this. Each figure is made up of 5 squares that may or may not be able to form 5 sides of a cube. We call this a net. Which of the 12 nets will form a cube?. Polyhedra.

Polyhedra • On your tables, you will find sets of polyhedra. Examine them. • Compare and contrast polyhedra and polygons. • What is true about all prisms? • What is true about all pyramids? • What is true about prisms and pyramids, but not about other polyhedra?
Attributes • In a polygon, we call it a side. In a polyhedron, we call it a(n) __________. • In a polygon, we call it a vertex. In a polyhedron, we call it a(n) __________. • In a polygon, there is one plane interior, and so we do not name it. In a polyhedron, there are many plane interiors, and we call them __________.
Exploration 8.15 • Do Part 1 #1 and 2 for figures a - d and g. • Create the 5 regular polyhedra--cut out the nets and tape the sides together. Then, mark or color the vertices, edges, and faces. Record their numbers as well. • Can you identify a relationship between the faces, edges, and vertices of all these polyhedra?
Constructing and Deconstructing Solids • A solid is formed by a 3-dimensional figure and its interior. • Because a solid has 3 dimensions, it is easy to miss hidden aspects when viewed from only one perspective. Hence, we typically draw using 3 views: front, side, and top.
Let’s do one together. • Front Side Top
Try these other two • Front Right Side Top
Draw the views • Front • Right Side • Top
Nets • When we think of polyhedra, we think of the 3-dimensional figure. • If we wanted to find the surface area, it would help if we could spread it out and look at it in 2-dimensions. • To do this, we find the net of the polyhedron.
Nets • Exploration 8.19 Part 3 • Examine each of the nets. • Without cutting or folding, determine the type of 3-dimensional figure it will create. • Last, draw another net that will create the same 3-dimensional figure. If it is not possible, explain why not.
Solids • Prisms: cubes, rectangular, triangular, etc… A polyhedron and its interior. • Named for their bases. A triangular prism has 2 bases that are triangles. • Top and bottom bases are parallel and congruent. • Faces are all rectangles with the same height.
Solids • Cylinders: • Like prisms, but with 2 bases that are circles. • One other face in the shape of a rectangle.
Solids • Pyramids: square, triangular, hexagonal, etc. • Named for the base. • Has just one base, and the other faces are triangles. • The height of the triangle faces is called the slant height.
Solids • Cones: • Like pyramids, but with a circular base. • Face is a sector of a circle. • Top point is called an apex. • Spheres: No faces or bases. “Equator” is known as a great circle.
