Visualising Solid Shapes Maths Activity

This document provides an overview of visualizing solid shapes through 3 methods: slicing, viewing from different angles, and observing shadows. It also discusses 2D and 3D shapes, with examples like squares, circles, cubes, and spheres. Additionally, it covers oblique and isometric sketches for pictorial representation, defines a polyhedron as a solid made of polygons, and introduces Euler's formula that relates the number of faces, vertices and edges of shapes.

How can we visualise a solid shape?

• There are 3 different ways of visualising a solid shape


1. By cutting or slicing the shape (or dividing it).
2. By looking at it from different angles or from different views such as the front
view, the side view (left and right), The top view and the bottom view.
3. Visualizing an Object by Its Shadow: Let us take an example of a Cone. Imagine
that a source of light falls on a solid shape, say a cone. The shadow of the solid
shape forms a 2-D shape. We observe that when a light source falls on the thinner
end (top) of a cone, we get the shadow as a 2-D shape.
2D Shapes
Q) What are 2D Shapes?

• 2d shapes are flat figures that have only length and width. These
shapes do not have thickness or height.

There are different kinds of 2D Shapes but for today we will be


covering some common shapes that we see in our daily lives.

1. Square- A chess board


2. Circle- Wheels of a toy train or a clock
3. Triangle- A sandwich slice or a slice of pizza
4. Rectangle- A television or a computer
5. Oval- Round Oval shaped Mirror
6. Diamond or Rhombus- A kite
3D Shapes
Q) What is the meaning of 3D shape?
• In geometry, 3D shapes are solid shapes or figures
that have three dimensions. Generally, length,
width and height.
There are many examples of 3D shapes given in the
table.
1. Cube- A box or a dice
2. Cuboid- A brick or a Refrigerator
3. Sphere- A cricket ball or a football
4. Cone- An ice cream cone or a party hat
5. Cylinder- A water bottle or a Gas cylinder
Oblique sketches and Isometric sketches

Oblique Sketches Isometric sketches


The oblique sketching is a pictorial Isometric projection is a method for visually
representation of an object, in which the representing three-dimensional objects in two
diagram is intended to depict the perspective dimensions
of objects in three dimensions.
What is a Polyhedron?

• A solid made up of polygonal regions is called a polyhedron.


Euler’s formula
• It is written F + V = E + 2, where F is the number of faces, V the number of
vertices, and E the number of edges. A cube, for example, has 6 faces, 8
vertices, and 12 edges and satisfies this formula.
