3D SHAPES

Figure	Description	Examples
Prism	A prism is a three-dimensional figure with two parallel congruent faces, called bases, and lateral faces in the shape of parallelograms. Prisms are named according to the shape of their bases.	Right Hexagonal Prism
Rectangular prism	A prism whose bases and lateral faces are rectangles.
Cube	A rectangular prism whose faces are squares.
Triangular prism	A prism whose bases are triangles
Cylinder	A three-dimensional shape with two parallel congruent circular faces whose cross sections (taken parallel to these circular faces) are circular.
Cone	A cone is like a pyramid with a circular base. (See Pyramid.)
Sphere	A sphere is the set of all points in space that are a fixed distance from a common point called the center.
Pyramids	A three-dimensional shape with one polygonal base and lateral faces the shape of triangles that meet at a common vertex, called the apex.
