Some shapes also have corners, or angles, where two sides meet to close a shape. When you draw a square on a piece of paper, that’s a two-dimensional or 2-D shape. It has 1) length and 2) height (two dimensions). It is flat. Three-dimensional, or 3-D shapes, are solid shapes. They have 1) length, 2) height and 3) width (three dimensions). A tissue box is a 3D shape. It is solid.
