What is a flat surface of the polyhedron called?
It is a face of the polyhedron
Face of a polyhedron?
Please refine your question.
Is a trapezoidal prism a polyhedron?
Yes, a trapezoidal prism is a polyhedron. A polyhedron is a solid three dimensional object with flat face, straight edges and sharp corners.
What is the difference between a polyhedron and a regular polyhedron?
A Polyhedron is a closed plane figure whose faces are portions of planes. Prisms and pyramids are examples of Polyhedron's. While a Regular Polyhedron is a Polyhedron whose facces are all regular Polygons and whose Vertices are all alike. There are only five Regular Polyhedron's: Tetahedron , Octahedron , Icosahedron , Hexahedron , and Dodecahedron .To clarify, there are five known Platonic Solids: regular polyhedrons which are convex on all their vertices.The tetrahedron is also known as the triangular pyramid: a regular one has an identical equilateral triangle for each of its four faces. This is the one Platonic solid which is self-dual, as each face has three sides and each vertex joins three edges.The regular hexahedron is better known as the cube: each of its six faces is a square, and each vertex joins three edges. Its dual counterpart is the regular octahedron. In this case, each of its eight faces is three-sides (an equilateral triangle) and each vertex joins four edges. To picture the octahedron, think two square pyramids mated on their square faces, leaving only the triangular faces.Finally, there is the regular dodecahedron (12 faces), which is composed of regular pentagons (five sides). Each vertex again joins three edges. Its dual counterpart is the regular icosahedron. It has 20 triangular faces, and each vertex joins five edges.
This shape has 1 vertex 1 cricular face and 1 curved face?
A cone. The base is circular and curved, and the tip of the cone is the vertex.
What is a self dual polyhedron?
For every polyhedron, there is a dual which is a polyhedron that has:a face where the first had a vertex,a vertex where the first had a face,the same number of edges.A self-dual polyhedron is a polyhedron whose dual is the same shape.All pyramids, for example, are self-dual.
What is Definition of a square pyramid?
A polyhedron of which one face is a square, and the other faces are triangles with a common vertex.
What do you call the face opposite of the vertex in a pyramid?
It is called the base.
What does pyramid mean in math terms?
A polyhedron of which one face is a polygon of any number of sides, and the other faces are triangles with a common vertex.
Which polyhedron has a trangular base?
There are an infinite number of possible solutions. A tetrahedron and icosahedron are regular shapes. Then there is the triangular prism. A cuboid with one vertex cut off, a cube with 2 vertices cut off, 3 vertices etc. In fact, cutting off the vertex of any polyhedron in which three sides (faces) meet at the vertex will give a new triangular face.
What is a polyhedron in which one face can be any polygon and the lateral faces are triangles that meet at a common vertex?
A pyramid has a polygonal base with all other sides being triangles. As the Egyptians famously demonstrated, a common pyramid has a square base with four triangles meeting at a vertex, but any polygon - regular or irregular - can be used as the base of such a polyhedron.
What is a flat surface of the polyhedron called?
It is a face of the polyhedron
Each surface of a polyhedron is called?
Each surface of a polyhedron is called a face.
How many edges vertcies and faces does a cone have?
A cone has 1 face, 0 edges, and one vertex. The face is the circular flat area. The cone can roll, so it has no edges. Edges have to be straight. The vertex is the pointy thing opposite to the face.
Is the base on a polyhedron considered a face?
Yes. A base on a polyhedron is a face and a base on a polygon is a side.
What is a frace on a polyhedron?
The face of a polyhedron is any of its flat surfaces
What is each polygon of a polyhedron called?
It is called a face of the polyhedron.
