| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Area | Area is the total 2D space within a shape's boundary, measured in square units |
| Center | the exact middle point of a shape or geometric figure, acting as a point of reference for its symmetry |
| Circle | A circle is a 2D geometric shape defined as the set of all points in a plane that are at a fixed distance. |
| Circumference | the total distance around the edge of a circle or any curved geometric shape |
| composite figure | a geometric shape formed by combining two or more basic shapes |
| cone | a solid or hollow object which tapers from a circular or roughly circular base to a point. |
| cylinder | a 3D geometric shape with two identical circular bases connected by a curved surface |
| diameter | the straight-line distance across it passing through the center, connecting two points on the circumference. |
| face | a flat surface on a 3D geometric solid, such as the sides of a cube or pyramid |
| hemisphere | A hemisphere is exactly half of a sphere |
| lateral face | any side of a three-dimensional figure (prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone) that is not considered a base |
| pi | the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter |
| prism | two parallel, identical bases and parallelogram side faces, or an optical component that refracts light into a spectrum |
| pyramid | 3D solid with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a single top point |
| radius | straight-line distance from the center of a circle or sphere |
| regular pyramid | 3D geometric shape with a regular polygon forming identical isosceles triangle lateral faces. |
| semicircle | a 2D shape representing exactly half of a circle, formed by cutting a circle along its diameter |
| slant height | diagonal distance from the tip of a cone or pyramid to the edge of its base, |
| sphere | a round solid figure, or its surface, with every point on its surface from its center. |
| surface area | the total area of all outer faces of a 3D object, measured in square units |
| volume | 3D space occupied by matter, calculated using cubic units like or liters |
