2D Shapes
- 2D shapes have 2 dimensions and at least 3 sides.
- Examples of 2D shapes include triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and circles.
- Key features of 2D shapes include:
- Vertices (corner points)
- Edges (line segments between vertices)
- Angles (formed by two adjacent edges)
- Perimeter (distance around the shape)
Types of 2D Shapes
- Regular 2D shapes have equal sides and angles, such as equilateral triangles, squares, and circles.
- Irregular 2D shapes have unequal sides and angles, such as scalene triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids.
3D Shapes
- 3D shapes have 3 dimensions and at least 4 faces.
- Examples of 3D shapes include tetrahedrons, cubes, rectangular prisms, and spheres.
- Key features of 3D shapes include:
- Vertices (corner points)

- Faces (flat surfaces bounded by edges)
- Volume (amount of space inside the shape)
Types of 3D Shapes
- Polyhedra are 3D shapes with polygon faces, such as tetrahedrons, cubes, and rectangular prisms.
- Non-polyhedra are 3D shapes with curved faces, such as spheres, cylinders, and cones.
Relationships Between 2D and 3D Shapes
- A 2D shape can be a face of a 3D shape.
