WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3D AND 2D DIMENSIONAL SHAPES

A 2-dimensional shape is flat. It has length and width but no height and hence no volume. For example, circle, parallelogram, square etc. 

A 3-dimensional shape is not flat as it has length, width and height and hence has volume. For example, cube, prism etc.

(2Dimensional) Refers to objects that are constructed on two planes (X and Y, height and width, row and column, etc.). Two-dimensional structures are also used to simulate 3D images on screen.


(3Dimensional) Refers to objects that are constructed on three planes (X, Y and Z). A 2D (two-dimensional) drawing program can be used to illustrate a 3D object; however, in order to interactively rotate an object for different views, it must be created as a 3D drawing in a 3D drawing program.
