EzraPlatonic solids are three-dimensional shapes that have equal sides, angles, and faces. There are five Platonic solids.
* The tetrahedron is a four-sided polyhedron with four equilateral triangles for faces. It looks like a three-sided pyramid (where the fourth side is the base). * The cube is a six-sided polyhedron with six squares for faces. * The octahedron is an eight-sided polyhedron with eight equilateral triangles for faces. It looks like two four-sided pyramids attached at their bases. * The dodecahedron is a 12-sided polyhedron with twelve equilateral pentagons for faces. * The icosahedron is a 20-sided polyhedron with twenty equilateral triangles for faces. There are illustrations of them at the websites listed in the links section.

Why is a cube called a platoric?
I think you probably mean platonic. The cube is one of only five platonic solids. These are the only shapes that can be made with outward-pointing corners and sides all of the same lengths.
What are the three types of polygons that can be the faces of a Platonic solid?
The polygons are the equilateral triangle, the square, and the regular pentagon. The faces of these platonic solids are made from the following polygons: tetrahedron - 4 triangles cube - 6 squares octahedron - 8 triangles dodecahedron - 12 pentagons icosahedron - 20 triangles
A dodecahedron has twenty faces the most of any Platonic solid?
false
What are the three types of polygons that can be faces of a platonic solid?
triangles, squares and pentagons.
What are two solids whose corresponding sides have a constant ratio?
The corresponding sides of similar solids have a constant ratio.
