Overview

A solid is an object of fixed shape that occupies space. Solids have length, breadth, and height, so they are three-dimensional figures. Shapes such as a cube, cuboid, cylinder, and cone help in understanding how 3D objects are identified, counted, and represented on paper through nets and maps.

Key Concepts

A solid is an object

A solid is an object of fixed shape that occupies space. It has length, breadth, and height, so it is a three-dimensional figure.

A straight line has only length

A straight line has only length, so it is one-dimensional. A rectangle has length and breadth, so it is two-dimensional.

A cube is a symmetrical three

A cube is a symmetrical three-dimensional shape with six equal square faces. It is a cuboid with all sides equal, so length = breadth = height. A cube

A cuboid is a solid

A cuboid is a solid or hollow rectangular body with six rectangular faces at right angles to each other. It has 8 vertices, 12 edges, and 6 faces.

A cylinder is a non

A cylinder is a non-polyhedron with a curved side and two identical circular flat ends. It has 0 vertices, 2 edges, and 3 faces.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize solids and distinguish them from one-dimensional and two-dimensional figures
  • Identify cube, cuboid, cylinder, and cone using their faces, edges, and vertices
  • Understand the difference between polyhedra and non-polyhedra
  • Use Euler's formula for a polyhedron
  • Recognize nets of solid shapes
