A \(3D\) shape is a solid which comprises three dimensions – length, breadth (width), and height. The \(3D\) in the term \(3D\) shapes implies \(3\)-dimensional.

All \(3D\) geometric shapes occupy space dependent on their dimensions and you can notice lots of \(3D\) shapes everywhere in daily life.

A few cases of \(3D\) shapes would be cubes, cuboids, cones, and cylinders.

Characteristics of 3D shapes

\(3D\) shapes will have faces (sides), as well as edges and vertices (corners).

Faces

Faces are flat or curved surfaces on a \(3D\) shape. For instance, cubes have \(6\) faces, while cylinders have \(3\) and spheres have only \(1\).

Edges

Edge is where \(2\) faces meeting. For instance, cubes have twelve edges, while cylinders have \(2\) and spheres don’t have any.

Vertices

Vertices are corners where some edges link. For instance, cubes have \(8\) vertices, while cones have \(1\) vertices and spheres don’t have any.

The subsequent table displays the faces, edges, and vertices of some three-dimensional shapes (\(3D\) shapes).
