3D SHAPES CUBE CUBOID (RECTANGULAR PRISM)
All 3d shapes can be described in terms of Volume = s3 Volume = ℓ x w x h
their faces, vertices and edges. Surface area = 6s 2 Surface area = 2ℓh + 2ℓw + 2w h
Face - a flat or curved surface where s is the length of one side where ℓ = length, w = width, h = height
Edge - line where 2 faces meet
Vertex - point where 3 or more edges meet
