triangular pyramid

A pyramid with a triangular base.

prism

A solid figure that has two congruent, parallel polygons as its bases. Its sides are parallelograms

pyramid

A solid shape with a polygon as a base and triangular faces that come to a point (vertex or apex)

trapezoidal prism

A solid shape with trapezoids for the base and rectangles as its other faces

square pyramid

A three dimensional shape with a square base, 4 triangular faces, and one vertex at the top

edge

The line segment where two faces of a solid figure meet.

vertex (vertices)

The point of intersection of two sides of a polygon. The point of intersection of three edges of a space figure.

octagonal prism

a prism where the base and the top are congruent, parallel octagons, and the other sides are rectangles

pentagonal prism

a prism where the base and the top are congruent, parallel pentagons and all the other sides are rectangles

rectangular prism

a solid figure in which all six faces are rectangles

rectangular pyramid

a solid figure with a rectangle for its base and triangles for all other faces

octagonal pyramid
