Three-dimensional shapes

Three-dimensional shapes are objects that have length, width, and height, giving them volume and depth. Unlike flat, two-dimensional shapes like squares or circles, 3D shapes occupy space and can be touched or held. Examples include cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones. These shapes are characterized by their faces, edges, and vertices. Understanding 3D shapes helps in visualizing real-world objects, from boxes and balls to buildings and furniture. Their properties are used in geometry, design, and engineering to analyze structure, stability, and form.
