Important Vocabulary
Important Vocabulary
- Area: Measured in square units, the size a surface takes up
- Volume: The amount of space that a three-dimensional figure contains. Volume is expressed in cubic units, (how many small cubes would fit inside a solid figure)
- Regular Polygons: A plane shape that has equal sides or equal angles
- Coordinate Plane: A plane containing two perpendicular axes (x and y) intersecting at a point called the origin (0, 0)
- Irregular Polygons: A plane shape that does not have all side equal or all angles equal
- Three-Dimensional Figure: A measure in three directions, such as length and width
- Rectangular Prism: A solid figure in which all six faces are rectangles
- Net: A two-dimensional object that can be folded to make a three-dimensional object
