3D Geometric Shapes (Free Printable Picture Pub Quiz)

3D geometric shapes exist as solid, three-dimensional objects with length, width, and height. In contrast to flat 2D shapes, these objects occupy physical volume, which means a person can hold them.
Mathematicians define the structure of these 3D geometric shapes through three properties:
• Faces: The flat surfaces that make up the outside of the shape.
• Edges: The specific lines where two faces meet.
• Vertices: The corners or points where multiple edges intersect.
These three elements work together to give a shape its unique identity and volume.

Below, there are 12 3D Geometric Shapes. Can you put a name to them?
