What are words with the prefix hedron?
The root word Hedron is a suffix.
Is a dodecahedron a 2D or 3D shape?
The suffix "hedron" implies 3D. The 2D suffix is "gon"
Is a octahedron a 2D or 3D shape?
The suffix "hedron" implies 3D. The 2D suffix is "gon"
Is a dodecahedron a 2d shape?
No. The suffix -hedron indicates that it is a 3-d shape.
What 3D shape has 15 faces?
A 15-agon (really.) * * * * * NOT REALLY because the "-agon" suffix is applied to 2-dimensional objects. For 3-dimensional objects, the suffix is "-hedron" so the correct ansver could be 15-hedron, but certainlyy NOT 15-agon.
What does -hedron mean?
"Hedron" is usually at the end of a geometrical shape meaning "faces".
How many equal sides does hedron have?
A hedron is not a shape - it is a suffix for solid shapes bounded by plane (polygonal) faces. The prefix give information on the number of faces for example, a tetrahedron has four faces, a decahedron has 10. In any case, there is no need for any of them to be equal.
What does hedron mean in maths?
a geometric figure having a specified kind or number of faces.
What does suffix in mean?
There is no suffix in mean.
Is a nonagon a 2d shape or a 3d shape?
A 2-d shape. The suffix -gon indicates a 2-d shape while -hedron indicates a 3-d shape.
What is the name of a solid that has more than six faces?
They have compound names which use Greek prefices for the number of faces, and the suffix "hedron".So, an octahedron would be a solid with 8 faces.
What does the word poly hedron mean?
A polyhedron is a solid object all of whose faces are polygons.
