The five Platonic solids are regular polyhedra. They are convex shapes which are created from regular polygonal faces, such that the number of faces meeting at each face is the same.
The five are:
- tetrahedron - 4 triangular faces;
- hexahedron (or cube - 6 square faces;
- octahedron - 8 triangular faces,
- dodecahedron - 12 pentagonal faces
- icosahedron - 20 triangular faces.

What waves can travel through solids and liquids?
Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through them.
How many corners has a icosahedron have?
The name most mathematicians use for the corners is vertices. An icosahedron is a 20 sided polyhedron. It is one of a group of special solids known as platonic solids. So, the icosahedron has 20 faces and 12 vertices or "corners" as you call them. It has 30 edges. There is an interesting formula that relates the number of edges, vertices and faces. V+F-2=E where V is the number of vertices, F the number of faces, and E the number of edges. In the case of the icosahedron we have 12+20-2=12+18=30 just as we expected. The nice thing about the formula is if you know two of these things, you can always find the third!
