1. Position of Lines in Space
In plane geometry, two lines can be parallel or intersect. But in
space, there is another choice. Two lines can be skew. Skew Lines are
nonintersecting lines that are not parallel.

Parts of a Polyhedra
Types of a Polyhedra
A. Prisms
If a polyhedron has identical A n-sided prism has n side-edges
polygonal faces that are opposite and 2n base-edges
each other, then it is a prism
The segments that connect base
side and top side is called side-
edges. The others is called
based-edges.

Naming Prism
When naming a prism we use two main descriptors. First, we say
whether it is right or oblique, then we say what type of polygon form
the prism’s bases or the number of its lateral sides.

Pyramid
A pyramid is a three-
dimensional solid with one
polygonal base and with line
segments connecting the
vertices of the base to a
single point somewhere
above the base.

Cone
A cone is like a pyramid but A r2 r r2 h2
with a circular base instead of
a polygonal base.
The volume of a cone is one-
third the area of its base
times its height:

Sphere is the mathematical word for “ball.” It is the set of all points in
space a fixed distance from a given point called the center of the sphere.
