Module 1

Three-dimensional objects have length, width, and height. Examples include cones, cubes, and balls. Students will learn about 3D shapes in math. Geometry can be divided into plane geometry, which deals with flat 2D shapes, and solid geometry, which involves 3D objects like cylinders and spheres. Shapes that can be measured in three directions are called three-dimensional. They have thickness and examples include boxes and spheres. 3D shapes have attributes like vertices, faces, and edges.

THREE- DIMENTIONAL OBJECTS
In geometry, three-dimensional shapes or 3D shapes are solids that have three
dimensions such as length, width and height. Whereas 2d shapes have only two
dimensions, i.e. length and width. Examples of three-dimensional objects can be seen
in our daily life such as cone-shaped ice cream, cubical box, a ball, etc. Students will
come across different 3D shapes models in Maths.
Geometry is one of the practical sections of Mathematics that involves various shapes
and sizes of different figures and their properties. Geometry can be divided into two
types: plane and solid geometry. Plane geometry deals with flat shapes like lines,
curves, polygons, etc., that can be drawn on a piece of paper. On the other hand, solid
geometry involves objects of three-dimensional shapes such as cylinders, cubes,
spheres, etc. In this article, we are going to learn different 3D shapes models in Maths
such as cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere and so on along with its definitions, properties,
formulas and examples in detail.
Shapes that can be measured in 3 directions are called three-dimensional shapes.
These shapes are also called solids. Length, width, and height (or depth or thickness)
are the three measurements of three-dimensional shapes. These are the part of three-
dimensional geometry. They are different from 2D shapes because they have thickness.
Several examples can be found in everyday life. Some of them are:

Solid Shapes in Maths: In Mathematics, the three-dimensional objects having depth,


width and height are called solid shapes. Let us consider a few shapes to learn about
them. You can find many examples of solid shapes around you, such as a mobile,
notebook or almost everything you can see around is a solid shape.
Faces, Edges, and Vertices of Three Dimensional Shapes: Three-dimensional shapes
have many attributes, such as vertices, faces, and edges. The flat surfaces of the 3D
shapes are called faces. The line segment where two faces meet is called an edge. A
vertex is a point where three edges meet.
Cube

A cube is a solid or three-dimensional shape which has 6 square faces. The cube has
the following properties. All edges are equal, 8 vertices,12 edges, 6 faces

Cuboid

A cuboid is also called a rectangular prism, where the faces of the cuboid are a
rectangle in shape. All the angles measure 90 degrees. The cuboid has 8 vertices,12
edges, 6 faces

Sphere

A sphere is a three-dimensional solid figure which is perfectly round in shapes and


every point on its surface is equidistant from the point is called the center. The fixed
distance from the center of the sphere is called a radius of the sphere. A sphere has no
vertex, no edges,1 curved face.
