Step-by-step explanation:
Classification of Solid Figures
In this concept, you will learn to classify solid figures.
[Figure1]
While on a social studies class trip to the museum, Maurice and Timothy were admiring the tall columns in one of the museum's galleries. The six circular columns extended from their flat base on the floor 12 feet upward to the ceiling. Maurice believed the columns were prisms, while Timothy argued that they were cylinders. Who was right?
In this concept, you will learn to classify solid figures.
Classifying Solid Figures
Figures can be classified according to their dimensions. Two-dimensional figures are plane figures, or "flat" figures. A plane figure is a flat figure that does not have depth to it.
Here are some examples of plane figures.
[Figure2]
Here you have a circle, a triangle and a rectangle. You can see that these figures have been created on one plane. They are two-dimensional figures.
Then, there are three-dimensional figures or solid figures. Solid figures are not limited to one plane and have depth. There are many different types of solid figures.
Let's take a look at a few solid figures.
A prism is a figure that has two parallel congruent bases. The bases can be any polygon. Here is an example of a familiar prism.
