Geometry HS Mathematics Unit: 09 Lesson: 01 Three-Dimensional Figures: Polyhedrons Geometric solids have three dimensions — _____________________________ Types of geometric solids: _______________________ – solid formed by polygons that enclose a region of space. The flat polygonal surfaces are called faces. The line segment where two faces meet is called an edge. The point of intersection of three or more edges is called a vertex. _______ _______ _______ triangular prism octahedron cylinder _______________ ____________________ ____________________ _________________ – type of polyhedron with two faces called bases, which are congruent, parallel polygons. Lateral faces are parallelograms connecting the bases. In right prisms lateral edges are perpendicular to the bases. A prism that is not a right prism is called an oblique prism. The altitude of any prism is the perpendicular distance from one base to the plane containing the other base. _______ ______ _ _______ _______ _______ __________ __________ Cube Oblique triangular prism ©2012, TESCCC 11/05/12 page 1 of 4 Geometry HS Mathematics Unit: 09 Lesson: 01 Three-Dimensional Figures: Polyhedrons Examples: L M A B D R C W Q N E H S V P F G O T U Guided Practice 1.
