SPACE FIGURES

Slide 9-5-3

Space figures take three dimensions of space to represent the figure.

One important group of space figures is a group called polyhedra. The faces of these figures are made only of polygons.

REGULAR POLYHEDRA (PLATONIC SOLIDS)

Slide 9-5-4

Name Description

Tetrahedron 4 equilateral triangles

Hexahedron 6 squares (cube)

Octahedron Groups of 4 regular triangles

Dodecahedron Groups of 3 regular pentagons

Icosahedron Groups of 5 regular triangles

See pictures on the next slide.

Slide 9-5-6

The next slide shows space includes two other polyhedra: pyramids and prisms. Pyramids are made of triangular sides and a polygonal base. Prisms have two faces in parallel planes; these faces are congruent polygons.

The next slide also shows a torus which is a doughnut-shaped solid and figures made up in part of circles including right circular cones and right circular cylinders.

VOLUME AND SURFACE AREA

Slide 9-5-8

Volume is a measure of capacity of a space figure. Volume is measured in cubic units.

Surface Area is the total area that would be covered if the space figure were “peeled” and the peel laid flat. Surface area is measured in square units.
