Identify Solids

Warm Up
Over Lesson 1–6
Name polygon A by its
number of sides.
Is it regular or irregular?
Concave or Convex?
Find the perimeter of polygon A.
Take Note
Polyhedron
Description: a solid with all flat surfaces that is
enclosed
Diagram:
For Example
Identify Solids
A. Determine whether the solid is a polyhedron.
Then identify the solid. If it is a polyhedron, name
the bases, faces, edges, and vertices.
For Example
Identify Solids
The solid is formed by polygonal faces, so it is a
polyhedron. The bases are rectangles. This solid is a
rectangular prism.
Answer: rectangular prism;
Bases: rectangles EFHG, ABDC
Faces: rectangles FBDH, EACG, GCDH,
EFBA, EFHG, ABDC
Vertices: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H

B. Determine whether the solid is a polyhedron.
Then identify the solid. If it is a polyhedron, name
the bases, faces, edges, and vertices.
For Example
Identify Solids
The solid is formed by polygonal faces, so it is a
polyhedron. The bases are hexagons. This solid is a
hexagonal prism.
Answer: hexagonal prism;
Bases: hexagon EFGHIJ and hexagon
KLMNOP
Faces: rectangles EFLK, FGML, GHNM,
HNOI, IOPJ, JPKE; hexagons EFGHIJ
and KLMNOP
Vertices: E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P

Identify Solids
C. Determine whether the solid is a polyhedron.
Then identify the solid. If it is a polyhedron, name
the bases, faces, edges, and vertices.
For Example
Identify Solids
The solid has a curved surface, so it is not a
polyhedron. The base is a circle and there is one
vertex. So, it is a cone.
Answer: Base: circle T
Vertex: W
no faces or edges
