3D shapes are solids that consist of 3 dimensions – length, breadth (width), and height. 3D in the word 3D shapes means three-dimensional. Every 3D geometric shape occupies some space based on its dimensions and we can see many 3D shapes all around us in our day-to-day life. Some examples of 3D shapes are cube, cuboid, cone, and cylinder. The 3D shapes and objects are different from 2D shapes and objects because of the presence of the three dimensions – length, width and height. As a result of these three dimensions, these objects have faces, edges, and vertices. In this worksheet, you will learn about vertices, edges and faces of 3D shapes.
What are the properties of 3D shapes?
The three important properties of 3D shapes are faces, edges, and vertices.
Vertices: A point where two or more lines meet is called a vertex. It is a corner. The point of intersection of edges denotes the vertices.
Edges: An edge is a line segment on the boundary joining one vertex to another. They serve as the junction of two faces.
Face: A face refers to any single flat or curved surface of a solid object. 3D shapes can have more than one face.
