three-dimensional figures
Three-dimensional figures, or 3D shapes, are objects that have length, width, and height, allowing them to occupy space. Common examples include cubes, spheres, cylinders, and pyramids. Unlike two-dimensional shapes, which only have length and width (like squares and circles), 3D figures can be viewed from different angles and have volume. This makes them essential in architecture, art, and everyday objects. Understanding 3D shapes helps us navigate the physical world, design products, and visualize structures, enhancing both creativity and practicality in various fields.
