Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Polyhedrons and non-polyhedrons

  • Polyhedrons are 3-D figures bounded by polygonal regions.
  • Each face of a polyhedron is a polygon.
  • Cubes, cuboids, prisms, and pyramids are polyhedrons.
2

2. Pyramids and tetrahedron

  • A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon and whose other faces are triangles.
  • A right pyramid has congruent triangular lateral faces and its apex is directly above the centre of the base.
  • In this chapter, pyramid means a right pyramid.

3. Faces, edges, and vertices counts

  • A pyramid with rectangular base has 5 faces, 5 vertices, and 8 edges.
  • A square pyramid has 5 faces, 5 vertices, and 8 edges.
  • A pentagonal pyramid has 6 faces, 6 vertices, and 10 edges.
4

4. Euler's formula

  • Euler's formula connects faces, vertices, and edges of a polyhedron.
  • For a polyhedron, F + V - E = 2.
  • This formula is useful for checking whether a set of counts is possible.
