2D AND 3D SHAPES SHAPES: The shape can be defined as the boundary or outline of an object. In general, we can see shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles everywhere around us. Thus shapes have only lenght and breadth are 2D or two-dimensional. while other shapes such as the shape of a house have length, breadth and height. Thus shapes are 3D or three-dimensional. 2D SHAPES: A 2D shapes has two dimensions lenght and breadth. examples: Rectangle, Square, Circle, Triangle. 3D SHAPES: A 2D shapes has three dimensions lenght, breadth and height. examples: Cuboid, Cube, Cylinder, Sphere. See the above image the 1st one is circle and it is in 2D shape and the 2nd one is sphere and it is in 3D shape. Here are some 2d and 3d shapes Differences between 2D and 3D shapes You (or the children in your class) might be wondering about the differences between 2D and 3D shapes. This is a really good question, since it can be confusing to understan
