A space figure is a geometric figure that occupies space and has volume. They are also referred to as three-dimensional (3D) figures. Space figures are the 3D counterpart to plane figures, which are two-dimensional (2D) figures.

Is a figure in space or space figure?

Space figures are figures whose points do not all lie in the same plane. In this unit, we’ll study the polyhedron, the cylinder, the cone, and the sphere. Polyhedrons are space figures with flat surfaces, called faces, which are made of polygons. Prisms and pyramids are examples of polyhedrons.

What is solid or spatial figures?

Space figures exist in three dimensions. Some examples include spheres, cubes, tetrahedra, polyhedra, cylinders, cones, and other types of solids.
