Geometric Solids
cone
cube
cylinder
rectangular
prism
sphere
square
pyramid
Congruent: same size and shape (can be turned or flipped in different
directions)
Congruent
Figures:
Not Congruent:
Face: flat surface of a 3 dimensional (3-D) solid
Edge: where 2 faces meet
Vertex: where 2 or more edges meet, looks like a corner (plural: vertices)
Vertex (8)
Edge (12)
Face (6)
*You need to know the number of faces, edges, and vertices each solid
has. (Remember a cone has 1 face, 0 edges, and 0 vertices, and a cylinder
has 2 faces, 0 edges, and 0 vertices. A sphere has 0 faces, 0 edges, and 0
vertices.)
line
a straight path that
continues on in both
directions without end
line segment
a straight path with a
beginning and ending,
part of a line
ray
a straight path that
continues on in one
direction without end
angle
2 lines or rays that meet
at a common endpoint
