A polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid with flat faces, straight edges, and sharp corners, while a non-polyhedron does not have these characteristics. Polyhedra are made up of polygons that enclose a single region of space, while non-polyhedra may have curved faces or intersecting edges. In mathematical terms, a polyhedron satisfies Euler's formula (V - E + F = 2), where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces, while a non-polyhedron does not.

SteveA polyhedron is a closed figure with several (planar) sides, and all its sides are planar. A non polyhedron does not have these properties, maybe it is not closed, maybe one or more of the sides is a curved surface. In some branches of topology the sides of a polyhedron cannot intersect each other.

What is the difference between shmand non shm?
The difference between simple harmonic motion and harmonic motion is SHM is a periodic motion.
Is a rectangle a polyhedron?
yes it is a polyhedron
What is the difference between a tetrahedron and a triangular prism?
A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four triangular faces, while a triangular prism is a polyhedron with two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. The main difference between the two shapes is their number of faces and their base shapes. Additionally, a tetrahedron has four vertices and six edges, while a triangular prism has six vertices and nine edges.
Is a cuboid a polyhedron?
no a cuboid is not a polyhedron if it was it would have 9 faces
Why decahedron is not a regular polyhedron?
It is not a regular polyhedron because it has unequal sides
