Overview

Three-dimensional solids can be studied through flat drawings, faces, edges, vertices, Euler's formula, and nets. A polyhedron is a solid bounded by polygonal regions, so each face is a polygon. Cubes, cuboids, prisms, and pyramids are polyhedrons, while spheres, cylinders, and cones are not. A pyra

Key Concepts

A three

A three-dimensional figure bounded by polygonal regions is called a polyhedron. Each face is a polygon. Cubes, cuboids, prisms, and pyramids are polyh

A pyramid is a polyhedron

A pyramid is a polyhedron for which the base is a polygon and all lateral surfaces are triangles. A right pyramid has congruent triangular lateral fac

A pyramid with triangular base

A pyramid with triangular base is also called a tetrahedron and has four sides. A regular tetrahedron has faces as equilateral triangles, all sides eq

Faces are the polygonal regions

Faces are the polygonal regions of a polyhedron. Edges are the line segments common to two faces. Vertices are the points where edges meet.

For any polyhedron

For any polyhedron, F + V - E = 2, where F is the number of faces, V is the number of vertices, and E is the number of edges.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify polyhedrons and non-polyhedrons
  • Recognize faces, edges, and vertices of solids
  • Use Euler's formula F + V - E = 2 for polyhedrons
  • Find the number of faces, vertices, or edges when two are known
  • Understand pyramids, tetrahedrons, prisms, and octahedrons
