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
What are platonic solids?
Tetrahedron, Hexahedron(cube), Octahedron, Dodecahedron, and Icosahedron
The flat side of a three dimensional solid?
The flat side of a three dimensional solid is called the face. The total area of all of the faces is called the surface area.
How many faces does a triangle have?
A triangle has three faces. In geometry, a face refers to a flat surface of a solid shape. Since a triangle is a two-dimensional shape with three sides, it has three faces. Each side of the triangle forms one of its three faces.
A shape that has 6 congruent faces?
A shape that has 6 congruent faces is known as a cube. A cube is a three-dimensional shape with 6 square faces, where each face is identical in size and shape. The cube is a regular polyhedron, meaning all its faces are congruent regular polygons and all its angles are equal.

What are the three type of polygons that can be a platonic solid?

What is the Platonic Solid and How many are there and What are their names?
Answering your questions one at a time.1 - What is a platonic solid?A platonic solid is one with all faces congruent polygons, meaning that they all have the same number of sides, vertices and angle size.2 - How many are there?There are only and exactly five.3 - What are their names?TetrahedronCube (but when talking about Platonic solids, it is commonly referred to as a "hexahedron").OctahedronDodecahedronIcosahedronNote: These individual platonic solids can be identified by their unique Schlafli Symbol. This is demonstrated through the following:{p,q}p = Number of vertices at each faceq = Number of faces at each vertexSo for a dodecahedron, the Shlafli Symbol would be {5,3}, because a pentagon has five {5, or p} vertices, and at any individual vertex three {3, or q} faces meet.Understand? Great!
Which solid figure has two parallel bases that are congruent polygons and rectangular faces joining the base?
They are prisms. The bases may be any polygons with three or more sides.
This 3d shape has 12 faces?
A dodecahedron. A dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve faces, but usually a regular dodecahedron is meant. It is a Platonic solid composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces, with three meeting at each vertex. It has twenty (20) vertexes and thirty (30) edges. The dodecahedron would be the Platonic solid with the largest volume if all were made with edges of the same length.
What is a solid figure with faces that are polygons called?
A three dimensional figure with polygonal faces is called a polyhedron. Specific names draw from the Latin prefixes. For example a four sided figure is a tetrahedron.
What is a solid that is bounded by polygons which are called faces?
It's a polyhedron. A polyhedron (plural: polyhedra) is a three - dimensional figure made up of sides called faces, each face being a polygon.
What is a three-dimensioanl object with flat faces that are polygons?
Cone
Why cant you make a six sided pultonic solid?
If the question is meant to ask why you cannot make a six sided Platonic solid, the answer is you can - a cube,. If the question is meant to ask why you cannot make a Platonic solid with regular hexagons, the answer is that their interior angles are all 120 degrees. A dihedral angle needs three (or more) faces to meet at a point but three hexagons add up to 360 degrees, which forms a plane - not an angle.
What three dimensional figures have polygons for bases?
Any convex three dimensional figure with straight edges (or plain faces) will have polygons for bases so there is an infinity of such shapes.
What are three-dimensional shapes with faces consisting of polygons Answer?
Polyhedra (plural; singular = polyhedron)
Is a cube a platonic solid?
Yes. The five platonic solids are the only regular three dimensional shapes: Cube, Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Icosahedron, and Dodecahedron
