Characteristics of Solids:
CUBE:
A cube is a three-dimensional solid object
bounded by six square faces,
facets or sides, with three meeting at each
vertex. The cube is the only
regular hexahedron and is one of the five
Platonic solids. It has 6 faces,
12 edges, and 8 vertices.
CYLINDER:
A cylinder has traditionally been a three-
dimensional solid, one of the most basic of
curvilinear geometric shapes. Geometrically, it
can be considered as a prism with a circle as
its base. It has 3 faces and 2 edges.
TRIANGULAR PRISM:
A triangular prism is a three-sided prism; it is a
polyhedron made of a
triangular base, a translated copy, and 3 faces
joining corresponding sides.
A right triangular prism has rectangular sides,
otherwise it is oblique. It has a total of 9 edges,
5 faces, and 6 vertices(which are joined by
the rectangular faces).
CONE:
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that
tapers smoothly from a flat base to a point called
the apex or vertex. A cone is formed by a set of line
segments, half-lines, or lines connecting a common
point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that is
in a plane that does not contain the apex. It has 2
faces, 1 vertex and 1 edge.
