Solids


        A solid is a 3D object. The three dimensions are: height, width and depth. Many
        objects around us are cuboids, spheres, cylinders, cubes and cones. Here are some
        examples.

        The face of a solid is any flat surface in the solid.








        Left side face   Right side face    Front face       Back face         Bottom face       Top face

        The edge of a solid is                          The vertex of a solid is the
        the line formed where               edges       point where two or more                      vertices
                                                        edges meet. Vertices is the
        two faces meet.
                                                        plural of vertex.
