Space figures

Cylinder Square prism (cube)

Space figuresTo name a space figure, we first look at the

shape of the base. There are two of them. If the base is a square, the space figure is a

square prism. If the base is a triangle, the space figure is a

triangular prism, If the base is a circle, the space is a cylinder.

Space Figures and Nets

If you could take a space figure such as a square prism, and take it apart so that is lies flat, you would have a shape called a net

For example:

This is a square prism. . .

Nets

And here is one way to draw the net:

Nets

Here is a triangular prism:

Here is a triangular prism:

And below is the net:

Notice the triangles are the bases
