Polygon

A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Page 3: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Examples of Polygons

Page 4: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

These Figures ARE NOT Polygons

Why is this figure not a polygon?

It is not made of 3 or more line segments!

Why is this figure not a polygon?

It is not CLOSED!

Page 5: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Face

A face is a flat surface of a

3-dimensional figure.

Page 6: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

This is a face. This face is a

polygon.

This is a face. It is circular and

may also be called a base.

Page 7: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Edge

An edge is a line segment where two faces or a face and

lateral surface of a 3-dimensional

figure meet.

Page 8: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Think about this…

Where do we find the edges on a 3-

dimensional figure?

Page 9: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

This figure has many edges

…and one

more that we

can’t see!

Page 10: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Does this figure have any edges?

Yes…because the

faces meet the lateral surface.

Lateral Surface

Vertex (plural – Vertices)

A point…1) Where three or more edges

of a polyhedron meet.2) Opposite the base of a

cone.

This triangular pyramid

has 4 vertices.

Page 13: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Does this cone have a vertex?

Yes! It does have a point opposite

of the face or circular base –

therefore it does have a vertex!

Page 14: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Basebase of a cone – flat circular part,

which may also be called a face

base of a pyramid -polygonal

region that does not intersect

with other faces at the vertex

Bases, cont.bases of a prism –

the two parallel and congruent

regions

bases of a cylinder – the two parallel, circular regions

Page 16: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Cylinder

A cylinder is a 3-dimensional figure with two

parallel, circular bases

or faces.

Page 17: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Cone

A cone is a 3-dimensional figure with

a circular base or face.

Page 18: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

PrismA prism is a 3-

dimensional figure with two parallel, congruent bases, and all faces that

are parallelograms (rectangles, etc.).

Page 19: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Naming PrismsPrisms are named

by the shape of their bases (the two sides that are congruent and parallel).

Pyramids

A pyramid is a 3-dimensional

figure with one base and

triangular faces.

Page 21: 3D Solids Vocabulary 6 th Grade Math. Polygon A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments.

Naming Pyramids

A pyramid is named by the shape of its base.
