CONCEPT NOTES:
We encounter infinite figures or objects in our daily life, but some people don’t realize that
these figures have classifications.
Inside the box are two different objects, a piece of paper and glass jar. Imagine how they look
like in real life.
1. 2.
Based on your imagination, how many dimensions does a piece of paper have? How about the
glass jar? How many dimensions does it have?
A piece of paper is an example of a two- dimensional (2D) object which is called plane figure
while the glass jar is a three- dimensional (3D) object called solid figure or sometimes called
space/spatial figure.
Identify whether the figures inside the box is a plane or a solid figure.
Two of the solid figures are the prism and pyramid, while others are cube, cone, cylinder, and
sphere. Prism and pyramid are polyhedrons for their faces are flat surfaces called
polygonal regions. The cone, cylinder and sphere are not polyhedrons for their faces are not flat
surfaces; therefore, they are not polyhedrons.
Polyhedron is made up of polygons which are joined at their edges (the intersection of two
faces). Vertex is a point where edges meet.
Dimensions:
height
width
length
Parts: vertex
edge
face
The two parallel faces (top and bottom) are the bases, and the remaining faces (front and back,
left and right sides) are the lateral faces.
The prism has two polygonal bases (top The pyramid has one polygonal base
and bottom) (bottom)
The lateral faces are quadrilateral. The lateral faces are triangles.
The name of the prism and pyramid depends on the shape of their bottom base.
It is true to both prism and pyramid that the number of the edges of their bottom bases is equal
to the number of their lateral faces.
How to determine the number of vertices, edges, bases and lateral faces?
Illustration:
Figure 1: Pentagonal Prism
Vertices = s x 2 Formula
= 5x2 Substitute the value of s
which is 5
= 10
Base =1 Bottom
Do they have flat surfaces? The cone has a circular flat surface and it is its bottom base while
the cylinder has two circular flat surfaces, the top and bottom bases.
Sphere is a round solid figure with every point on each surface with equidistant from its center.
EXERCISES:
________ 5. The common endpoint where three edges meet is called the vertex.
