A cone in which the apex (or the pointed tip) is perpendicular to the base is called a right circular cone.Based on how the apex is aligned to the center of the base, a right cone or an oblique cone is formed.A cone has a circular or oval base with an apex (vertex).

Similar to a cylinder, a cone can also be classified as a right circular cone and an oblique cone. The pointed end at the top of the cone is called 'Apex'. A cylinder in which one base is placed away from another is called an oblique cylinder.Ī cone is another three-dimensional shape (3D shape) that has a flat base (which is of circular shape) and a pointed tip at the top. A cylinder in which both the circular bases lie on the same line is called a right cylinder.It is a three-dimensional object with two identical ends that are either circular or oval.The shape stays the same from the base to the top.Some important features of a cylinder are listed below. The height of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between the top and bottom faces. CylinderĪ cylinder is a 3D shape that has two circular faces, one at the top and one at the bottom, and one curved surface. The length, width, and height of a cube are the same, while for a cuboid, length, height, and width are different. A cube and a cuboid occupy different volumes and have different surface areas. The main difference between a cube and a cuboid is that in a cube, all its six faces are squares and in a cuboid, all its six faces are rectangles. It is not a polyhedron since it does not have flat faces.Ĭube and cuboid are three-dimensional shapes (3D shapes) that have the same number of faces, vertices, and edges.It has one face, no edges, and no vertices.
