• Square-based pyramid 5 8 5
• Triangular-based pyramid 4 6 4
• Cuboid 6 12 8
• Cylinder 3 2 0
• Cone 2 1 1

VIEWS OF 3D SHAPES
There are three types of views
1. Front view
2. Side view
3. Top view
NETS OF 3D SHAPES
A net of a 3d shape is when you spread a 3d shape out.
SYMMETRY By Brameshwaran of 7-B
LINE SYMMETRY
Another name for reflection symmetry. One half is the reflection of the other half.
ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY
A shape has Rotational Symmetry when it still looks the same after some rotation (of
less than one full turn).
