14.3 Symmetry in three-dimensional shapes.

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, we  will be able to:

  •  identify, analyze, and describe symmetry in three-dimensional shapes.
  • Define symmetry in three-dimensional shapes.
  • Identify different types of symmetry in three-dimensional shapes, such as reflection symmetry and rotational symmetry.

What is a Prism?

A prism is a three-dimensional solid object in which the two ends are identical. It is the combination of the flat faces, identical bases and equal cross-sections. The faces of the prism are parallelograms or rectangles without the bases. And the bases of the prism could be a triangle, square, rectangle or any n-sided polygon.
