Objects that exist in the real world usually have shapes (although they can also be shapeless) and those shapes will bear some resemblance, and in some cases a very close resemblance, to the theoretical shapes of plane and solid geometry, such as triangles, squares, circles, spheres, cubes, etc. But even aside from that, a deep understanding of our universe (and the laws of nature which describe the way it operates) would not be possible without a knowledge of plane and solid shapes. Geometry has implications for every area of mathematics, and mathematics is the language of science.

Explain solid shapes and plane shapes in math?
Plane shapes you draw on paper. Solid shapes can be picked up. Examples of plane shapes would be circle, square, triangle, etc. Examples of solid shapes would be a sphere, a cube, pyramid, and so on. ■
What is the difference between plane shape and solid shape?
A solid is more like a pyramid or a cone. and a plane is more like a square or plane shapes like that. The answer is in the shapes.
How do you calculate the perimeter of the cone?
You don't. Perimeter is a concept associated with plane figures, not solid shapes.
What is the ratio of their volumes of 4ft and 8ft rectangle?
Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.
Why are plane and solid shapes important to us?
It turns out that mathematics is very effective as a means of analyzing the physical universe in which we live, and its various laws, and phenomena. When we learn about the theoretical shapes of geometry, both plane and solid, that information is applicable to actual objects in the real world. When we design machinery, construct buildings, and solve any number of problems, small or large, that we run into in our lives and professions, geometry is applicable. It is endlessly useful.
