List Of Shapes: Names Of Shapes In English With Pictures

Shapes are all around us. We see them in objects like clocks, plates, and signs. We use them to build things like houses or bridges. Shapes come in different sizes, colors, and dimensions. But what exactly is a shape? A shape is the outline or form of an object.

Shapes can be divided into two basic types: Two-dimensional shapes and Three-dimensional shapes. Two-dimensional shapes are flat or plane shapes that have only two dimensions: length and width. Examples of 2D shapes include circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Three-dimensional shapes are solid shapes that have three dimensions: length, width, and height. Examples of 3D shapes include cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders.
