Creating a Plane by Translating a Line Segment

Section titled “Creating a Plane by Translating a Line Segment”

When a line segment is moved in parallel, the trace of its movement forms a single plane.

Creating a Curved Surface by Rotating a Line

Section titled “Creating a Curved Surface by Rotating a Line”

The sides of a cylinder or a cone can be considered as a curved surface created by a single line segment rotating around a fixed line (the axis).

Creating a Solid by Translating a Plane Figure

Section titled “Creating a Solid by Translating a Plane Figure”

When a plane figure is moved in parallel, the trace of its movement forms a solid.

Creating a Solid by Rotating a Plane Figure

Section titled “Creating a Solid by Rotating a Plane Figure”

When a plane figure is rotated, the trace of its rotation forms a solid.
