A 3D shape, or three-dimensional shape, is a geometric figure that has three dimensions: length, width, and height. Unlike 2D shapes, which only have length and width, 3D shapes occupy space and can be perceived in a way that allows them to be viewed from multiple angles.
Common examples of 3D shapes include:
1. **Cube** - A solid shape with six equal square faces.
2. **Sphere** - A perfectly round object where every point on its surface is equidistant from its center.
3. **Cylinder** - A shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.
4. **Cone** - A shape with a circular base that tapers smoothly from the base to a point called the apex.
5. **Pyramid** - A solid shape with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a common point (the apex).
3D shapes are used in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and computer graphics, and they can be represented in drawings, models, or simulations.
