What are Solid Shapes or 3D Shapes?
Solid shapes, also known as 3D shapes or three-dimensional shapes, are geometric objects that exist in three dimensions: length, width, and height. Unlike 2D shapes, which are flat and have only length and width, solid shapes have depth, making them occupy space. Examples of Solid Shapes include CUbe, Cuboid, Cone, Cylinder, etc.
Visualizing Solid Shapes
Visualizing Solid Shapes: Any plane or any shape has two measurements length and width, which is why it is called a two-dimensional(2D) object. Circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, trapeziums, etc. are 2-D shapes. If an object has length, width, and breadth then it is a three-dimensional object(3D). cube, pyramids, spheres, cylinders, and cuboids are 3-D shapes.
Any kind of solid shape occupies some space. A solid shape or figure is bounded by one or more surfaces. If any two faces of 3-D shapes meet together, we get a line segment which is called an edge when more than two faces of the solid meet at one point then that point is called the vertex of the solid.
In this article, we will study about visualizing solid shapes like cylinders, cubes, spheres, cones, etc, and their properties.
