A polyhedron is defined as a three-dimensional figure composed entirely of flat polygonal faces, which meet at edges and vertices. In contrast, a three-dimensional figure with a curved surface, such as a sphere or cylinder, lacks flat faces and instead has continuous curves. Therefore, the presence of a curved surface disqualifies such figures from being classified as polyhedra.
A polyhedron.
A polyhedron cannot have curved surfaces; all its faces must be flat, polygonal shapes. Additionally, it cannot have any holes or gaps, as a polyhedron is a solid figure with a continuous surface. Shapes like spheres or cylinders, which have curved surfaces, are also not considered polyhedra.
It is so by definition.
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.
A paraboloid.
