A polyhedron is a solid shape with many sides. The word "polyhedron" does not specify a number of sides.

Do 20 equal sides form a polyhedron?

No. A polyhedron is 3 dimensional. You have a regular polygon, regular because the sides are equal. If you asked about 20 surfaces, then it would be a polyhedron.

What shapes go in the category of irregular polyhedra?

A polyhedron is a plane shape, enclosing a single space, which is bounded by straight lines.If ALL angles and ALL sides are equal, then it is a regular polyhedron. All other polyhedra are irregular.Note that if any of the sides is not straight then the shape is not a polyhedron at all, and so cannot be an irregular polyhedron.A polyhedron is a plane shape, enclosing a single space, which is bounded by straight lines.If ALL angles and ALL sides are equal, then it is a regular polyhedron.
