| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| area | the measure of the total two-dimensional space, surface, or region enclosed within a set of boundaries |
| center | he exact middle point or centroid of a figure, shape, or object that is equidistant from all points on its boundary or vertices |
| circle | a 2D geometric shape consisting of all points in a plane that are equidistant (an equal distance) from a fixed center point |
| circumference | the total distance around the edge of a circle or any curved geometric shape |
| composite figure | a 2D geometric figure made by combining two or more basic shapes, such as rectangles, triangles, circles, or trapezoids |
| composite solid | a 3D figure formed by combining two or more basic geometric solids |
| cone | a 3D geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat, usually circular, base to a single point called the apex or vertex |
| cylinder | a three-dimensional solid shape featuring two parallel, identical, and congruent circular bases connected by a curved surface |
| diameter | the longest straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere, connecting two points on its circumference |
| face | a flat or curved surface that makes up one of the sides of a 3D solid figure |
| hemisphere | a three-dimensional geometric shape representing exactly half of a sphere, created when a sphere is cut through its center along a diameter |
| lateral face | any flat side of a three-dimensional solid (polyhedron) that is not considered a base |
| pi | a mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, roughly equal to |
| prism | a 3D solid figure with two identical, parallel bases (top and bottom) connected by flat, rectangular (or parallelogram) sides |
| pyramid | a 3D solid figure with a polygon base and triangular side faces that meet at a single point, called the apex |
| radius | a line segment connecting the center of a circle or sphere to any point on its boundary (circumference) |
| regular pyramid | a 3D geometric solid with a regular polygon base (all sides/angles equal) and a vertex (apex) centered directly above the base, forming a right pyramid |
| semicircle | a 2D geometric shape representing exactly half of a circle, formed by cutting a circle along its diameter |
| slant height | the diagonal distance measured along the lateral surface of a cone or pyramid, extending from the apex (top) down to the edge of the base |
| sphere | the set of all points in 3D space that are equidistant from a fixed center point |
| surface area | the total measurement of the exposed outer surface of a three-dimensional object, calculated as the sum of the areas of all its faces |
| volume | the measure of the3D space an object occupies |
