Description: Many things in New York City are 3-D shapes with height, length, and width. Many of the skyscrapers in the city are rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and cubes. Some of the statues are cylinders and spheres. You can even see pyramids atop big buildings. These 3-D shapes are not only buildings or statues--they are the things you drink out of such as coke cans or things you eat like ice cream cones.
