There are some objects that have either a plane surface or a curved surface or

               both. Let us understand by some examples.

               Objects with Straight Edges have Plane Surfaces

               Let us study about the plane surfaces in detail.


               Square

               The plane surface of a cube is called a square.                    D              C
               Properties of a square:

                                     4
                   A square has   sides.                                               Square          Side

                        4
                   All   sides of a square are of equal lengths.
