8-4 Drawing Three-Dimensional Figures
Three-dimensional figures have faces,
edges, and vertices. A face is a flat
surface, an edge is where two faces
meet, and a vertex is where three or
more edges meet.

Since in a drawing of a three-dimensional object, you can
only see up to three sides of a figure, you have to visualize
how the figure looks from other angles. One way to do this
is by drawing the orthogonal views of the figure.
Orthogonal views show how the figure looks from the
different perspectives, such as the front, side, and top
views.
