Study Notes
Properties of Shapes
- Number of Sides: A shape can have any number of sides, from 3 (triangle) to infinity (circle).
- Angles: Shapes can have angles, which are formed by two adjacent sides.
- Vertices: Shapes have vertices, which are the points where two or more edges meet.
Types of Shapes
2D Shapes
-
Triangle: A 3-sided shape with three vertices and three angles.
- Equilateral: all sides are equal
- Isosceles: two sides are equal
- Scalene: all sides are unequal
-
Quadrilateral: A 4-sided shape with four vertices and four angles.
- Rectangle: all angles are right angles (90°)
- Square: all sides are equal and all angles are right angles
- Rhombus: all sides are equal, but not all angles are right angles
- Trapezoid: two pairs of opposite sides are unequal
- Pentagon: A 5-sided shape with five vertices and five angles.
- Hexagon: A 6-sided shape with six vertices and six angles.
- Circle: A continuous curved shape with no beginning or end.
- Oval: An ellipse, a closed curve that results from the intersection of a cone and a plane.
3D Shapes
- Cube: A 3D shape with six square faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.
- Sphere: A 3D shape that is a set of points equidistant from a central point (center).
- Cone: A 3D shape with a circular base and a curved lateral surface that tapers to a point.
- Cylinder: A 3D shape with two parallel and circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface.
- Pyramid: A 3D shape with a polygon base and triangular lateral surfaces that meet at the apex.
Shape Relationships
- Congruent Shapes: Shapes that have the same size and shape.
- Similar Shapes: Shapes that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
- Tessellations: Repeating patterns of shapes that fit together without overlapping.
- Symmetry: A shape has symmetry if it looks the same after a reflection, rotation, or translation.
Real-World Applications of Shapes
- Architecture: Shapes are used in building design to create functional and aesthetically pleasing structures.
- Engineering: Shapes are used to design and build machines, mechanisms, and systems.
- Art: Shapes are used to create visual compositions and patterns.
- Nature: Shapes can be found in the natural world, from the arrangement of leaves on a stem to the structure of crystals.
