Visualising Solid Shapes | NMMS Revision Notes | Class 7 Maths

 

• The circle, the square, the rectangle, the quadrilateral and the triangle are examples of plane figures; the cube, the cuboid, the sphere, the cylinder, the cone and the pyramid are examples of solid shapes.
• Plane figures are of two-dimensions (2-D) and the solid shapes are of three-dimensions (3-D).
• The corners of a solid shape are called its vertices; the line segments of its skeleton are its edges; and its flat surfaces are its faces.
• A net is a skeleton-outline of a solid that can be folded to make it.  The same solid can have several types of nets.
• Solid shapes can be drawn on a flat surface (like paper) realistically. We call this 2-D representation of a 3-D solid.
• Two types of sketches of a solid are possible:
  (a) An oblique sketch does not have proportional lengths. Still it conveys all important aspects of the appearance of the solid.
  (b) An  isometric sketch is drawn on an isometric dot paper, a sample of which is given at the end of this book.  In an isometric sketch of the solid the measurements kept proportional.
   
• Visualising solid shapes is a very useful skill.  You should be able to see ‘hidden’ parts of the solid shape.
• Different sections of a solid can be viewed in many ways:
  (a) One way is to view by cutting or slicing the shape, which would result in the cross-section of the solid.
  (b) Another way is by observing a 2-D shadow of a 3-D shape.
  (c) A third way is to look at the shape from different angles; the front-view, the side-view and the top view can provide a lot of information about the shape observed.
