Characteristics of Geometrical Figures
By: Megan Bruni
Cube• 3-D geometrical
shape• Has six square
sides• All sides are
equal• The angle
formed from an intersection is a 90⁰ angle
Cone• 3-D
geometrical shape• Has a circular
base• Tappers up to
a point called the apex or vertex
Sphere• 3-D geometrical
shape• Symmetrical
around its center• Has a radius
(distance from center)
• Has a diameter (distance from one side to another)
Rectangular Solid
• 3-D geometric figure• Has 6
rectangular sides• Has length,
width, and height
Pyramid• 3-D geometrical
shape• Made up of 4
triangular sides that go together to a point• Has a square
base
Cylinder• 3-D geometric
shape• Has 2 circular
ends• Has a
rounded center that stretches from one end to another
