Shapes in maths: Here you will find our List

Here you will find our List of Geometric Shapes for kids. There is a large collection of 2d and 3d shapes , along with some of the key properties each shape posseses. A shape can be defined as the boundary or outline of an object which is made by combining curves, points, and line segments. Each shape has a name depending upon its structure. Learn different types of shapes along with the list of shapes with examples. The key difference between 2D and 3D shapes for kids is: 2D shapes (two-dimensional) have only length and width, such as a rectangle or circle (A = l w for a rectangle, A = π r 2 for a circle). 3D shapes (three-dimensional) have length, width, and height/depth, such as cubes, spheres, and cylinders. At Vedantu, students learn to distinguish and visualize both types using engaging activities, interactive diagrams, and real-life examples. In Mathematics , Geometric shapes are the figures which demonstrate the shape of the objects we see in our everyday life. In geometry , shapes are the forms of objects which have boundary lines, angles and surfaces.
