Geometric Terms and Definitions
- Apex: The tip or highest point of a cone or pyramid.
- Base: A specific face of a solid figure, typically the bottom surface.
- Cone: A 3D shape characterized by a circular base tapering smoothly to a single point (the apex).
- Cube: A 3D figure formed by six equal square faces; all angles are right angles.
- Cubic Units: Measurement units used to quantify the volume within a three-dimensional figure.
- Cylinder: A 3D figure with two congruent, parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.
- Edge: The line formed at the intersection of two faces in a solid figure.
- Face: A flat surface constituting one side of a solid figure.
- Formula: A mathematical expression involving variables that establishes a rule or relationship.
- Lateral Face: Any face of a solid figure that is not considered a base.
- Lateral Surface: Surfaces of a solid figure excluding the base(s).
- Net: A 2D layout that can be folded to form a corresponding 3D shape.
- Plane Figure: A geometric shape with two dimensions (2D), such as squares and circles.
- Prism: A 3D figure with two parallel, congruent polygonal bases and parallelogram-shaped lateral faces.
- Solid Figure: A geometric shape that possesses three dimensions (3D).
- Square Units: Measurement units for calculating surface area, representing the area covered by a figure's face.
- Surface Area: The combined area of all surfaces of a 3D figure.
- Vertex: A point where three or more edges converge in a solid figure.
- Volume: The total space contained within a three-dimensional figure, expressed in cubic units.
