A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. Common examples include cubes, tetrahedra, and octahedra. Polyhedra can be classified into regular (where all faces and angles are congruent) and irregular types. They are fundamental in various fields, including mathematics, architecture, and chemistry, particularly in the study of molecular structures.
A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional shape with MANY, but UNSPECIFIED number of vertices. The number of edges and faces are therefore not specified either. Poly = many Hedron = Vertex
A polygon is a plane (2-dimensional) object bounded by straight lines. A polyhedron (not polyhendron!) is a solid (3-dimensional) object bounded by polygonal faces. So, pyramids and some prisms are polyhedra. A cylinder is a type of prism but, because two of its faces are circular, those faces are not polygons. As a result a cylinder is not a polyhedron.
No, but the faces of a polyhendron are all flat.
If you mean polyhedron - it is solid figure having many faces
