Geometry Angles Post 10

Three Dimensional Shapes
It is a real talent to see/draw 3D shapes on a flat piece of paper. 
This years course is about your ability to name the main 3D shapes.

Here are the main types of 3D shapes that we can name the most common shapes.

The shapes in order are...
  1. Sphere (note a half a sphere is called a 'hemisphere').
  2. Pyramid (note this is a triangle based pyramid).
  3. Cuboid (it is mathematically incorrect to say 'box').
  4. Cylinder
  5. Cube
  6. Cone.
