3.3 Space Figures

  • Space figures are figures whose points do not all lie in the same plane.
  • Polyhedrons are space figures with flat surfaces, called faces, which are made of polygons.
  • Prisms and pyramids are examples of polyhedrons.
  • Cylinders, cones, and spheres are not polyhedrons, because they have curved, not flat, surfaces.
  • A cylinder has two parallel, congruent bases that are circles.
  • A cone has one circular base and a vertex that is not on the base.
  • A sphere is a space figure having all its points an equal distance from the center point.
