Term
prism
Definition
a polyhedron with two congruent parallel polygon bases
Term
rectangular solid
Definition
a prism with all faces that are rectangles
Term

plane surface of a solid
Term
area of polygon
Definition
measure of region enclosed by the polygon

Definition
the face that does not contain the vertex
Term
altitude
Definition
in a prism or cylinder, a segment perpendicular to the bases with an endpoint in each plane
Term
great circle
Definition
when a plane intersects a sphere so that it contains the center of the sphere the intersection is called a great circle
Term
hemisphere
Definition
each great circle separates a sphere into two congruent halves
Term
sphere
