Cubes have 6 faces, 12 edges
Cube and 8 vertices.
All sides on a cube are equal
length.
All faces are square in shape.
A cube is a type of cuboid.
Cuboid Cuboids have 6 faces, 12 edges
and 8 vertices.
All the faces on a cuboid are
rectangular.
Sphere
Spheres have either 0 or 1 faces,
0 edges and 0 vertices.
Ellipsoid
Ellipsoids have either 0 or 1
faces, 0 edges and 0 vertices.
Cylinder Cylinders have either 2 or 3
faces, 0 or 2 edges, and 0
vertices.
Cone
Cones have either 1 or 2 faces, 0
or 1 edges, and 1 apex (which is
described by some
mathematicians as a vertex).
Triangular Prisms have 5 faces, 9
Triangular Prism
edges, and 6 vertices.
The two faces at either end are
triangles, and the rest of the
faces are rectangular.
Hexagonal Prism Hexagonal Prisms have 8 faces,
18 edges, and 12 vertices.
The two faces at either end are
hexagons, and the rest of the
faces are rectangular.
Triangular-based Triangular-based pyramids have
Pyramid 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices.
The base is a triangle. All of the
faces are triangular.
If the triangular faces making up
the prism are all equilateral, then
the shape is also called
a Tetrahedron.
Square-based Pyramid
Square based pyramids have 5
faces, 8 edges and 5 vertices
The base is a square. All the
other faces are triangular.
Hexagonal Pyramid
Hexagonal pyramids have 7
faces, 12 edges, and 7 vertices.
The base is a hexagon. All of the
other faces are
