Topic 54 Intro to Solids

Front

What is a cross section?

Back

A cross section is the shape that is obtained when a solid is cut through by a plane. For example, a rectangle can be the cross section of a cube.

What does Euler's Formula state?

Back

Euler's Formula states that for any convex polyhedron, the relationship between the number of faces (F), vertices (V), and edges (E) is given by F + V - E = 2.

What is a polyhedron?

Back

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid that is made up of flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. Examples include cubes, pyramids, and octahedrons.

How do you find the number of edges (E) using Euler's Formula?

Back

To find the number of edges (E), rearrange Euler's Formula: E = F + V - 2.

What is the difference between a prism and a pyramid?

Back

What is a vertex in geometry?

Back

A vertex is a point where two or more edges meet in a solid shape. For example, a cube has 8 vertices.

What is a face in a polyhedron?

Back

A face is any of the flat surfaces that make up the boundaries of a solid object. For example, a cube has 6 faces.
