Solid Shapes in Maths[/caption]

Solids Shapes (Solid geometry) in Maths & their types and Formulas Solids or three-dimensional forms are three-dimensional shapes with three (or more) dimensions in geometry. Solid geometry studies the characteristics, volume, and surface area of threedimensional forms. Let us now turn our attention to the study of geometrical solids.

Solids: Definition Three-dimensional forms, often known as solids, are shapes that inhabit space. Figures with three dimensions—length, breadth, and height—are also known as solid forms. A sphere, or threedimensional form, is a ball, whereas a circle written on a sheet of paper is a two-dimensional figure. Similarly, solid shapes such as tables, chairs, notepads, or pens are all around us. Here are some solid examples and attributes of solid forms. The geometrical figures are categorized according to their dimensions as follows:     

Zero-dimensional shape - As the name suggests, 0-dimensional shapes are just a point. One-dimensional shape - A line is an example of such a shape since there is only one dimension: its length. Two-dimensional shapes - Such shapes have two dimensions of length and breadth. E.g., polygon, square, triangle, rectangle, circle. Three-dimensional shapes - Such shapes have three dimensions, i.e., length, breadth, and height. E.g., cuboid, cone, cylinder, sphere, cube, pyramid. Higher-dimensional shapes: Such shapes have more than three dimensions, and we will study them in higher classes.
