3D Shapes

3D shapes have three dimensions - width, height, and depth. They are solids that can be physically held. The most common 3D shapes are cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and spheres. 3D shapes have faces, edges, and corners to describe them. Cubes have 6 square faces, 12 edges, and 8 corners. Cuboids have 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges, and 8 corners. Cylinders have 1 curved face, 2 edges, and no corners. Spheres have 1 curved surface and no edges or corners.

Properties of 3D Shapes

3D shapes are shapes with three dimensions – width


(breadth), height (length) and depth. 3D shapes are solids
and can be physically held.

height depth

width

The most common 3D shapes are cuboids, cubes, cylinders


and spheres.

We use the terms faces, edges and corners to describe and


identify 3D shapes.

Faces

The faces are the flat surfaces in 3D shapes.

Edges

The edges are where two surfaces meet.

Corners

Corners are where two or more edges (lines) meet at a


point.

Cuboid
corner
edge
face

A cuboid has 6 faces that are all rectangles. It has 12 edges


and 8 corners. All the angles at the corners are right angles.

Cube
corner

edge face

A cube has 6 faces that are all the same size. All the faces
are squares. It has 12 edges and 8 corners. All the angles at
the corners are right angles.
Cylinder
curved surface
face

A cylinder has 3 faces (1 curved side), 2 edges and no


corners. The flat sides (bases) of a cylinder are circles.
Sphere

curved surface

A sphere has 1 curved surface, no edges and no corners.
