Two dimensional (2-D) figures and three dimensional (3-D) figures are measurements of space. 2-D measure area which is the amount of space on a flat object. 3-D measures the amount of volume which is the amount of space inside an object.

2-D is a measurement of length and height

3-D is a measurement of length and height and depth

The similarities of these measurements is that they both measure the length and height, but 3-D just goes a little further in measuring how deep an object is.

Is surface area the same as volume?

No. How can they be the same, if one of them is a two-dimensional measure, the other a three-dimensional measure.

In a work of art texture can be implied or actual, three dimensional would be the same as actual.


Are all coplanar lines parallel?

No; it simply means they are all on the same plane, as are two-dimensional figures.


What is a closed figure?

A closed figure is a shape in which all its edges connect to form a complete boundary, with no openings. Examples include geometric shapes like squares, triangles, and circles. Unlike open figures, closed figures enclose a specific area and can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. The defining characteristic is that the starting and ending points of the path are the same.


What is a three dimensional object which has one base with the sides of the same length?

To be 3 dimensional the sides must also have height.


Is a triangle and a pyramid same?

No. A triangle can be a two-dimensional object whereas a pyramid must be three-dimensional (with sides that are sloped).


What is a shape with all points the same distance from its center?

If the shape is two-dimensional then it is a circle, if the shape is three-dimensional then it's a sphere.


What is a 2-D polygon?

Talking about a "2-D polygon" is the same as talking about a "polygon." By definition a polygon is a 2-dimensional figure, so all polygons are 2-dimensional and anything that is not 2-dimensional cannot be a polygon. Of course, not all 2-dimensional figures are polygons.


Is a prism and its net are congruent figures?

Yes, a prism and its net are congruent figures in the sense that the net represents a two-dimensional layout of the prism's faces, and when folded, it will form the three-dimensional shape of the prism. The net includes all the faces of the prism, maintaining the same dimensions and areas. Therefore, while they exist in different dimensions (2D for the net and 3D for the prism), they are congruent in terms of their geometric properties.


What is a plane figure made up of 2- or 3- dimensional shapes?

There are infinitely many different plane figures that can be made up of 2-dimensional shapes - provided that they are all in the same plane. There cannot be any 3-dimensional shapes involved.
