 * Properties and shapes **

The shape of an object is conforming by the space that it occupies determinated by its external boundaries. We can find and create many types of shapes in two and three dimensions. The basic ones are...

__ In 2-D: __ -The circle, where every point of the circumference is located at the same distance from the center. -The triangle, that is conform by only three sides. It could be, equilateral, isosceles and scalene. In the equilateral the tree sides have the same size, the isosceles triangle only has two sides of the same size and the other could vary, finally, the scalene triangle that has the three sides with different sizes. -The square that is the basic shape formed by four sides of the same size. -And the rectangle that is similar to the square but has two sides with the same size and the other two with another.

__ In 3-D: __ -The Sphere, that is like the circle but with volume. On it every point of the surface has the same distance from the center. -The Pyramid which is conform by a base that could be triangular or squared and different sides that converge in one higher point that is aligned with the center of the base. -The cube, that has 6 equal faces. -And the parallelepiped with 4 equal faces and 2 also equal but with different size.
