Three-Dimensional Geometrical Shapes

Faces, edges and vertices of solids, nets, and the volume of a cuboid — with an interactive exercise.

Three-dimensional (3D) shapes are solids described by their faces, edges and vertices.

A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. The volume of a cuboid is $\text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}$. A flat net folds up to make a 3D shape.

Remember

  • Cube: 6 faces, 12 edges, 8 vertices.
  • Volume of a cuboid $= l \times w \times h$.
