Identify the Faces, Edges, Vertices.

A prism is a three-dimensional figure with two parallel congruent faces, called bases, and lateral faces in the shape of parallelograms. Prisms are named according to the shape of their bases.

Prism

A rectangular prism whose faces are squares.

Cube

A prism whose bases are triangles

Triangular Prism

Rectangular prism

A prism whose bases and lateral faces are rectangles.

A three-dimensional shape with two parallel congruent circular faces whose cross sections (taken parallel to these

circular faces) are circular.

Cylinder

A sphere is the set of all points in space that are a fixed distance from a common point called the center.

Sphere

A three-dimensional shape with one polygonal base and lateral faces the

shape of triangles that meet at a common vertex, called the apex.

Pyramids

A cone is like a pyramid with a circular base. (See Pyramid.)
