Cube

The document explains the concept of shapes, focusing on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes. It describes a cube as a 3D object made up of six equal square faces, highlighting its characteristics such as faces, vertices, and edges. The cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 equal-length edges.

Shapes

The world is made up of many


different types of shapes.

Everywhere we go and almost


everything we see is made up of
two or three-dimensional shapes
like the computer screen where
you're reading this.
What are Dimensions?
When we talk
about dimensions, we're
talking about the height, width,
or depth of something. For
example, a square drawn on
paper has a height and width.
Those are its two dimensions.
But some things have three
dimensions. Let's look at at this
in more detail.
Two-Dimensional The Third Dimension:
Shapes: So Flat Not So Flat
• Two-dimensional shapes are flat, • We live in a three-dimensional
like squares or circles, or the world. 3-D shapes have height
picture on your television. They and width (just like 2-D shapes),
have height and width (but not and they also have a third
depth). One 2-D shape we know dimension -depth.
is a square. • 3D geometric shapes have faces,
• Squares are 2-D because they are edges, and vertices. They have
flat and have only a height and depth and so they occupy some
width. volume.
CUBE
A cube is a 3D object that is formed by six equal
squares.

Faces, Vertices and
Edges

• Faces are the flat sides that you


touch when you hold a shape. A
cube has 6 faces and all the faces
of a cube are square in shapes.
Each face has four equal sides.

• Vertices are the pointy bits or


the corners where edges meet.
There are 8 vertices in a cube.

• Edges are the lines around a


shape. There are 12 edges in a
cube. All the 12 edges are equal in
length because all faces are
squares.
