Solid geometry

Hyperboloid of one sheet

Solid geometry or stereometry is the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space (3D space).[1]

A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior.

Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids, prisms (and other polyhedrons), cubes, cylinders, cones (and truncated cones).[2]
