What is the Platonic Solid and How many are there and What are their names?
Answering your questions one at a time.1 - What is a platonic solid?A platonic solid is one with all faces congruent polygons, meaning that they all have the same number of sides, vertices and angle size.2 - How many are there?There are only and exactly five.3 - What are their names?TetrahedronCube (but when talking about Platonic solids, it is commonly referred to as a "hexahedron").OctahedronDodecahedronIcosahedronNote: These individual platonic solids can be identified by their unique Schlafli Symbol. This is demonstrated through the following:{p,q}p = Number of vertices at each faceq = Number of faces at each vertexSo for a dodecahedron, the Shlafli Symbol would be {5,3}, because a pentagon has five {5, or p} vertices, and at any individual vertex three {3, or q} faces meet.Understand? Great!
