Platonic solids are convex regular polyhedra. The faces of a platonic sold are all congruent polygons and they are all regular.The number of sides that meet at a vertex is the same for all vertices. When the sides are triangles, the platonic sold is a tetrahedron. This will NOT look the same as a cube where the sides are squares. So how the Platonic solid looks depends on the shape of its sides and very one of the five of them has different shaped sides.

How are Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato alike?
they dont look alike
Is Jennifer Hudson related to Coco Jones?
i dont know but they do look alike She's not her daughter but they do look a lot alike. I doubt they are related because neither Jennifer nor Coco has mentioned it.

No they look alike but they dont they might be related
How are all of the maps alike on the pack a solid past?
Its because the pack isn't that good to look for maps
Why does a Platonic solid look the same no matter which vertex you position at the top?
The quick answer: because of the high degree of symmetry inherent in the Platonic solids. They are vertex-uniform, edge-uniform and face-uniform. If you hold several models of the same shape up by any vertex, all the models will appear the same. The same goes for holding the models up by any edge, or by any face. Read the following for a little more detail. Many solids that are not Platonic have symmetry as well, but the Platonic solids have some special symmetrical properties. You can create what are called 'dual polyhedrons' for solids, but the duals for Platonic solids are unique. You can form a Platonic solid's dual polyhedron by making the midpoint of every face of the original Platonic solid a vertex of the dual solid within the original. If you start with a cube, a hexahedron really, and make a new solid within it having vertexes at the centers of the square faces of the cube, the solid within will be an octahedron. Tetrahedrons are self-dual, squares and octahedrons are dual with one another, and dodecahedrons and icosahedrons are dual with one another. The dual polyhedron of a Platonic solid is always another Platonic solid. This is difficult to visualize without aid. See link for some clarification. On the dual relationship of a cube [6 faces, 8 vertexes] and octahedron [8 faces, 6 vertexes] breaking down the numbers of faces and vertexes might help. Each of the 6 faces of a cube contains one of the vertexes of the octahedron, and each of the vertexes of a cube will be at the center of one of the faces of the octahedron.
Are the cimmoreli sisters actually sisters?
yeah i think so but they dont really look alike
