2. Prisms

3. Prisms • Prisms have 2 congruent bases. • The faces of a prism are parallelograms. • We are going to study the rectangular prism. • Rectangular Prisms have 8 vertices. • Rectangular Prisms have 6 faces. • Rectangular Prisms have 12 edges.

5. Pyramids

6. Pyramids • Pyramids have 1 base. • Pyramids have triangular side faces that meet at one vertex. • We are going to study the square pyramid. • Square pyramids have 4 faces. • Square pyramids have 5 vertices. • Square pyramids have 8 edges.

8. Cylinders

9. Cylinders • Cylinders have two bases that are circles. • The two bases are congruent and parallel. • A cylinder has one face. • A cylinder has two edges. • A cylinder has no vertices.

11. Cones

12. Cones • A cone has a circular base. • A cone has one edge. • A curved surface connects the base to the vertex. • A cone has one vertex.
