Geometry Chapter 12 Vocabulary

AB
polyhedronClosed three-dimensional figures made up of flat polygonal regions.
netA two-dimensional figure that when folded forms the surface of a three-dimensional object.
lateral areaFor prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones, the area of the figure, not including the bases
orthogonal drawingThe two-dimensional top view, left view, frong view, and right view of a three-dimensional object.
perspective viewThe view of a three dimensional figure from the corner
prismA solid with the following characteristics: a. Two faces are formed by congruent polygons that lie in parallel planes B. the faces that are not bases are formed by parallelograms C. the intersections of two adjacent lateral faces are parallel segments.
regular prismA right prism with bases that are regular polygons.
pyramidA solid with the following characteristics: A. All of the faces except one face intersect at a point called the vertex. B. The face that does not contain the vertex is called the base and is a polygonal region. C. The faces metting at the vertex are called lateral faces and ar triangular regions.
regular polyhedronA polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular congruent polygons.
faceThe flat regions of a polyhedron formed by the polygons and their interiors.
edgesOn a polyhedron, the segment formed by the intersection of faces.
Platonic solidsThe five regular polyhedra: tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron or icosahedron
cylinderA figure with bases that are foremd by congruent circles in parallel planes
sphereIn space, the set of all points that are a given distance from a given point, called the center.
coneA solid with a circular base, a vertex not cintained in the same plane as the base, and a lateral surface area composed of all points in the segment connecting the vertex to the edge of the base.
cross sectionWhen a plane intersects a solid figure when the plane is parallel to the base of bases of the solid.
reflection symmetryThe symmetry of a solid with respect to a plane.
surface areaThe sum of the areas of all faces and side surfaces of a three-dimensional figure.
lateral facesIn a prism, the faces that are not bases. In a pyramid, faces that intersect at the vertex.
lateral edgesIn a prism, the intersection of two adjacent lateral faces
right prismA prism with lateral edges that are also altitudes.
oblique prismA prism in which the lateral edges are not perpendicular to the bases.
lateral areaFor prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones, the area of the figure not including the bases.
axis of a cylnderA segment with endpoints at are the centers of the circular bases of a cylinder.
oblique cylinderA cylinder that is not a right cylinder.
right cylinderA cylinder with an axis that is also an altitude.
regular pyramidA pyramid where the base is a regular polyhedron and the segment with endpoints that are the center of the base and the vertex is perpendicular to the base.
slant heightOn a pyramid, the height of each lateral face.
oblique coneA cone that is not a right cone.
right coneA cone with an axis that is also an altitude
great circleFor a given spere, the intersection of the sphere and a plane that contains the center of the sphere.
hemisphereOne of two congruent parts into which a great circle separates a sphere.
