🔲 Solids and Their Families
This paragraph introduces the concept of solids, which are three-dimensional shapes with length, breadth, and depth. It distinguishes between two main families of solids: prisms and pyramids. Prisms are characterized by their faces, edges, and vertices, with examples including rectangular, square (cube), triangular, pentagonal, and trapezoidal prisms. Each prism has a main face that determines its name, such as a pentagon for the pentagonal prism. Pyramids, on the other hand, are defined by having an apex and two types of heights: slant height and vertical height. Pyramids are named based on their base shape, such as square, triangular, or pentagonal pyramids, with all lateral faces being triangles. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of understanding these features for future calculations involving volume and surface area.
📘 Applications of Solids in Geometry
The second paragraph emphasizes the practical applications of understanding the properties of solids, particularly in the context of geometry. It suggests that the features of solids, such as faces, edges, vertices, apex, and types of heights, will be instrumental in future studies and calculations related to volume and surface area. The paragraph serves as a reminder of the relevance of these geometric concepts in educational and problem-solving contexts.

Highlights
Solids are three-dimensional shapes with length, breadth, and depth.
Solids are categorized into two main families: prisms and pyramids.
Prisms are shapes with flat faces, such as rectangular, square, triangular, pentagonal, and trapezoidal prisms.
Prisms share common features like faces, edges, and vertices.
Rectangular prisms have rectangular faces, while cubes have square faces.
Triangular prisms have triangular and rectangular faces.
Pentagonal prisms have a pentagonal cross-section and rectangular sides.
Trapezoidal prisms have a trapezium as the main face and rectangles surrounding it.
Pyramids are characterized by having an apex, which is the sharp top point.
Pyramids have two types of heights: slant height and vertical height.
Slant height is the diagonal height, while vertical height goes from the apex to the base's center.
Pyramids are named based on their base shape, such as square, triangular, or pentagonal pyramids.
All pyramids have triangular faces surrounding the base.
Cylinders and spheres are other types of solids not fitting into the prism or pyramid families.
Understanding the properties of solids is crucial for calculating volume and surface area.
Prisms and pyramids share similar features, which are essential for geometric calculations.
Vertices, or corners, are a key feature of both prisms and pyramids.
The cross-section of a prism is indicative of its type, such as pentagon for pentagonal prisms.
Transcripts
the world around us has lots of solids
solids are 3d shapes three-dimensional
they have lengths they have bread or wit
and they have dead now solids they are
divided mainly into two main families
the prisms family and the pyramids
family let's look at each one we're
going to notice very similar features in
the prisons and you're also going to
notice similar features are also
available in the pyramids let's look at
the prisms first the prisms are
basically the shapes that you see there
there are several prisms out there but
there's some of the main ones that we
see we have the rectangular prism the
square prism which we know of as the
cube the triangular prism the pentagonal
prism and we also know as the
trapezoidal prism now all these prisms
have things that are in common they have
faces as you see mark there in blue we
have the rectangular face therefore the
rectangular prism the cube has the
square face and the triangular prism has
the triangular face and also has other
faces there which are the rectangles
there as well and the pentagonal why is
it called pentangle prison because the
main face the cross section as you can
see in blue is the pentagon and that
trapezoidal prism the cross section the
main face there is the trapezium so
these prisms have faces some have more
faces than others some have the same
similar shape of face like the
rectangular prism they are all going to
be rectangles the cube they're all going
to be the face are all going to be
squares however the triangular prism has
triangles and also rectangles the
pentagonal prism has a pentagonal cross
section but it also has rectangles
around it and the trapezoidal prism
as the main face as the trapezium but it
also has rectangles surrounding it to
make up the solid shape now these also
have what we call edges edges are the
edge as the name suggests marked in red
there for you to see and identify the
edge of these prisms and we also know a
very special feature that is available
there called the vertices the vertices
are plural for the vertex the vertex is
what we know in baby language as the
corner and cain't the corner as you can
see pointed there with the arrow the
vertex or the vertices are the corners
on these solids then we have the
pyramids now the pyramids are very
special in the sense that they have what
we call an apex and apex is the pinnacle
it is the top it is that sharp top bit
on top of the pyramid we call the apex
all pyramids have to have an apex now
pyramids have two types of heights now
this is critical that you understand two
types of heights they have what we know
as the slant height which is the height
that is slanting and we also know that
the pyramid has what we know the
vertical height the vertical height is
the height from the apex down to the
center of the pyramid right down the
middle of the base of the pyramid so
very important to identify the
difference between the slant height and
the vertical height later on we go we're
going to be using them to work out the
surface area of pyramids and also the
volume of pyramids and it's very
important to distinguish between the
slant height and the vertical height now
we see as well pyramids have faces and
pyramids are named depending on their
base so if the pyramid has a square base
then it's called a square pyramid if it
has a triangular base it is going to be
called a triangular pyramid if it has a
pentagonal base a pentagon
as a base of payment is going to be a
pentagonal pyramid now as you can see of
course all the surrounding phases of the
pyramids except for the base are always
going to be triangular in shape so these
are the two main solid families that we
have the prism family and the pyramid
family we also know other solids like
the cylinder and the sphere they don't
fit in any of those two families but
there are also solids for you
information as well but it's important
to know the features the properties we
are going to be using them a lot when
we're working with volume and surface
area in years to come
