Nevermind guys, I learned it in class today, our teacher doesn't inform us on homework very well...
Anyways, you make a polyhedron rigid just like a 2d shape, where you add braces and form triangles. Just in this case, you do it on all sides not rigid, not just the one 2d shape.
Thanks anyways!

What makes a tetrahedron so special?
It is the smallest possible polyhedron. It is also a rigid 3-D shape.
How do you make a sentences with polyhedron?
Look at that shiny polyhedron! Oh yes, officer, I am quite certain that it was a blue and green polyhedron that crossed into the road.
Larissa made a model of of a polyhedron using 8 pieces of clay for vertices and 18 straws for the edges what type of polyhedron did Larissa make?
This polyhedron has 7 vertices and 12 edges.
If a vetical hexagon is moved horizontallythrough pace what type of polyhedron is formed?
The answer depends on how it is "moved". However, hexagons cannot make a polyhedron.
What is a rigid shape?
A rigid shape is when you cant push/pull on it and make it turn into a different shape. You can make shapes rigid by adding "braces", which are lines that you put inside the shape to make triangles (which are rigid). For instance, a square is notrigid. To make it rigid, you would put a brace inside diagonally. This would create TWO triangles, and therefore, rigid. ~xDragonx
How do you build a polyhedron?
If you want to make a 3d paper polyhedron there are some cut outs you can print from http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/polycuts/
What two dimensional shape is made out of a polyhedron?
None. A polyhedron is 3 dimensional and you cannot make a 2 dimensional shape out of 3D shapes.
Is a diamond a rigid shape?
A diamond is not a rigid shape unless it has a brace. A brace is a diagonal line you put inside shapes to make them rigid. Triangles are rigid so if you put a brace in a square to make two triangles the square is now rigid.
Polygons that make up a solid are called?
They are faces the polyhedron.
The edge of a polyhedron are the polygons which bound the polyhedron?
No, they are the faces of the polyhedron.
What makes a polyhedron faceted?
The definition of polyhedron. If it was not faceted it would not be a polyhedron.
What polygons make up a solid is called?
They are called faces of the polyhedron.
