Term
Definition
Polyhedron   a space figure, or three-dimensional figure, whose surfaces are polygons.  
🗑
Edge   A segment that is formed by the intersection of two faces.  
🗑
Vertex   A point where three or more edges intersect.  
🗑
Cross section   The intersection of a solid and a plane.  
🗑
Prism   A polyhedron with two congruent, parallel faces, called bases.  
🗑
Lateral faces   The faces that aren't bases.  
🗑
Altitude of a Prism   A prism is a perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the bases.  
🗑
Height of a Prism   Length of an altitude of a prism.  
🗑
Right prism   The lateral faces are rectangles and a lateral edge is an altitude.  
🗑
Oblique prism   Some or all of the lateral faces are non-rectangular.  
🗑
Lateral area   The sum of the areas of the lateral faces.  
🗑
Surface area   The sum of the lateral area and the area of the two bases.  
🗑
Cylinder   Solid that has two congruent parallel bases that are circles.  
🗑
Altitude of a Cylinder   Perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the bases.  
🗑
Height of a Cylinder   The length of an altitude.  
🗑
Right Cylinder   Segment joining the centers of the bases is an altitude.  
🗑
Oblique Cylinder   Segment joining the centers is not perpendicular to the planes containing the bases.  
🗑
Surface Area of a Cylinder   The sum of the lateral area and the areas of the two circular bases.  
🗑
Pyramid   A polyhedron in which one face (the base) can be any polygon and the other faces (she lateral faces) are triangles that meet at a common vertex (called the vertex of the pyramid).  
🗑
Similar solids   Has the same shape, an all their corresponding dimensions are proportional.  
🗑
Sphere   Set of all points in space equidistant from a given point called the center.  
🗑
Volume   The space that a figure occupies.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
