Properties of 3D Shapes
#### 1. Pyramid
- Definition: A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base to a point called the apex.
- Properties:
- It has a polygonal base (e.g., triangular, square, pentagonal).
- All other faces are triangular and meet at a single vertex (the apex).
- The number of triangular faces equals the number of sides of the base plus one.
- It has edges where the triangular faces meet.
- It has vertices at the corners of the base and the apex.
#### 2. Cone
- Definition: A cone is a 3D shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (usually circular) to a point called the apex or vertex.
- Properties:
- It has a circular base.
- It has a curved surface that connects the base to the apex.
- It has one vertex (the apex).
- It has one edge (the circular edge of the base).
#### 3. Sphere
- Definition: A sphere is a perfectly round 3D object, like a ball.
- Properties:
- It is completely symmetrical around its center.
- Every point on the surface is equidistant from the center.
- It has no edges or vertices.
- It has a curved surface.
#### 4. Cube
- Definition: A cube is a 3D shape with six square faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.
- Properties:
- It has six faces, all of which are squares.
- All faces are equal in size.
- It has twelve edges, all of which are of equal length.
- It has eight vertices.
- All angles are right angles (90 degrees).
