A solid figure is a shape that is three dimensional. It is made up of plane shapes.

Cube Shapes

FACES! No, not a face like you and I have. This is a flat surface of a three dimensional shape.

Solid shapes can have....

​Face

​Face

EDGES! This is where two faces meet.

​

Solid shapes can also have...

VERTICES! Remember in a plane shape, the vertex is where two lines meet? Vertices are the same thing!

​

They can also have...

These shapes have 0 faces, 0 edges and 0 vertices.​

SPHERES

Rectangular prisms have 6 faces (2 squares and 4 rectangles), 12 edges that are not the same size and 8 vertices.
