Let’s learn a bit about Geometry!
Geometry is a part of Math that focuses on
shapes and lines.

Plane Figures are 2-dimensional figures.
That means that they look flat.

Triangle
Square

Solid Figures are 3-dimensional figures.
That means that they look like they can
stand up on their own.

Let’s take a look at some plane figures (2-
dimensional).

A square has 4 sides of
equal length.

A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 corners.
The 4 corners always make right angles.

A circle is a shape where all points are the
same distance from the center. It does not
have any sides or any corners.

A triangle is a shape with 3 sides and 3
vertices (points).

Now let’s learn about 3-dimensional
shapes.

A cube is a 3-dimensional solid with 6
congruent square faces.
edge
a square
Every face in a cube is a square and every
edge is the same length. A cube has 8
©A. Weinberg corners and 12 edges.
A cylinder is a 3-dimensional object
formed by 2
Congruent,
Parallel
Circles.
a curved surface
The circles

are joined by a curved surface.
A rectangular solid is a 3-dimensional
figure in which all 6 faces are rectangles.

A sphere is a 3-dimensional object with all
of its points the same distance from the
center.
a ball is a sphere

A cone is a solid, pointed figure that has
flat, round base. The base is usually a
circle that is joined to the point (vertex) by
a curved surface.

Now you know about 2-dimensional and 3-
dimensional shapes.
