Study Notes
What are Solid Figures?
Solid figures are three-dimensional shapes that have length, width, and height. They occupy space and have volume.
Types of Solid Figures:
1. Polyhedra
- A polyhedron is a solid figure with flat faces and straight edges.
- Examples: cube, tetrahedron, hexahedron, etc.
2. Prism
- A prism is a polyhedron with two identical faces that are parallel to each other.
- Examples: rectangular prism, triangular prism, etc.
3. Pyramid
- A pyramid is a polyhedron with a base and triangular faces that meet at the apex.
- Examples: square pyramid, triangular pyramid, etc.
4. Spherical Figures
- A sphere is a set of points equidistant from a central point called the center.
- Examples: sphere, hemisphere, etc.
5. Conical Figures
- A cone is a set of points that are equidistant from a central point called the vertex.
- Examples: cone, circular cone, etc.
6. Cylindrical Figures
- A cylinder is a set of points that are equidistant from a central axis.
- Examples: cylinder, circular cylinder, etc.
Properties of Solid Figures:
- Face: a flat surface of a solid figure.
- Edge: a line where two faces meet.
- Vertex: a point where three or more edges meet.
- Volume: the amount of space inside a solid figure.
- Surface Area: the total area of all the faces of a solid figure.
Formulas:
- Volume of a Rectangular Prism: V = lwh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height respectively.
- Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism: SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height respectively.

Solid Figures
Prism
- A prism is a solid figure with two identical polygon faces (bases) connected by a rectangular solid
- Bases are polygons and can have any number of sides
- Number of faces depends on the number of sides of the base (e.g., triangular prism: 5 faces, rectangular prism: 6 faces)
- Volume calculation: base area × height
Pyramid
- A pyramid is a solid figure with a polygon base and triangular faces meeting at the apex
- Base can be any polygon, but triangular faces must be identical
- Number of faces depends on the number of sides of the base (e.g., triangular pyramid: 4 faces, square pyramid: 5 faces)
- Volume calculation: (base area × height) / 3
Cone
- A cone is a solid figure with a circular base and a curved surface tapering to a point
- Volume calculation: (base area × height) / 3
- Surface area includes base area and curved surface area
Sphere
- A sphere is a symmetrical solid figure about its center
- Every surface point is equidistant from the center
- Volume calculation: (4/3) × π × radius³
- Surface area calculation: 4 × π × radius²
