Three-Dimensional

Figures
Identify
and classify pyramids and prisms by the
number of edges, faces, or vertices

Identify and classify pyramids and prisms by the


base

Compare a plane figure to faces of solid geometric


figure
Three-dimensional figures are not flat figures. They
have length, width, and height. They are also called
solid geometric figures.

The flat surfaces of three-dimensional


figures are called faces.
The faces meet at edges.
The edges are line segments.
The edges meet at vertices (plural of
vertex).

A triangular prism has five faces. Its base is a triangle. (Notice
that even when the triangular prism sits on a rectangle,
the base is still a triangle.) Two of its faces are triangles;
three of its faces are rectangles. It has six vertices and nine
edges.
