LESSON OBJECTIVES:
Define the term development of solid
figures.
State the method of development
Draw the elevation of a pyramid and a
prism
Draw the development of a pyramid
Draw the development of a prism.
LESSON 1. DEVELOPMENT OF SOLID
FIGURES.
MEANING OF DEVELOPMENT
Development is the
method of unfolding or
unrolling a geometrical
shape into a plane shape.
METHODS OF DEVELOPMENT
The following are the different methods of
drawing the development of a solid figures.
1) Radial line method.
2) Parallel line method and
3) Triangulation method.
.Radial line method is used for drawing the
development of pyramid and cone.
. Parallel line method is used for drawing the
development of cylinders and prism.
. Triangulation method is used for drawing the
development of awkward or irregular shapes
.
DEVELOPMENT OF PRISM
A prism is named according to the
shape of its base. Its edges are
parallel to one another.
A line passing through the centre
of each end is called the axis.
The shapes of the prism are shown below.

DEVELOPMENT OF PYRAMID
A pyramid is named according to the shape of its
base. It has sloping sides meeting at a point
called the apex, which is vertically above the
centre of the base. They include;
1) Triangular pyramid.
2)Square pyramid and
3)Hexagonal pyramid.
These shapes are shown below.
