Some examples can be a book, a piece of furniture, or a jewelry box. Rectangular prisms show up all around us. This can be thought of as a fancy name for something that has the shape of a cardboard box. Let's look at these figures and some examples of them in our everyday life.Ī rectangular prism is a solid figure that has six sides, called faces, that are rectangles. In mathematics, there are many solid figures. This may make you think that different solid shapes are probably quite common in the environment around us, and you are right! Any shape with the three dimensions (width, depth, and height) is known to be a solid figure, and because we live in a three-dimensional world, we can find these solid figures all around us. Notice that it has a depth, a width and a height too. For example, look at your computer, laptop, phone.
What this means is that all different solid shapes have a width, a height and a depth. Solid shapes are three-dimensional objects. All these objects in space occupy some shape and have three dimensions- breadth, length and height or depth.
Many objects that you see in your day to day life, for example, books, pencil boxes, ice cream cones, footballs and cylinders, are all different solid shapes. Example: We can say figures drawn on paper that have only breadth and length are known as 2-d figures. Squares and triangles are examples of polygons. Plane figures made of lines are known as polygons. The sides can be made of straight or curved lines the plane figures can have any number of sides. Shapes are generally either two-dimensional shapes or flat plane geometry shapes. Let us know what solid shapes are in detail. You see the ball you play with what is its shape? Sphere! That’s right! What is a sphere? It’s a solid shape. You’re reading this on a laptop/computer what is its shape? Cuboidal! That’s right! What is a Cuboid? It’s a solid shape.
