Edge is probably not the best word to describe it. Planes have zero thickness, and to me the word 'edge' implies something that takes up space. It's something like describing a point as a really, really, really tiny circle. That's not correct; a point has zero area-- not just a tiny bit of area.

What does the word edges mean in math terms?

Edges are one dimensional objects where two planes meet.

Not necessarily.


What is edges on a three dimensional figure?

It is the intersection of two planes or the line joining two vertices.


Is a polyhedron a solid bounded by The polygonal regions of intersecting planes?

Yes, a polyhedron is a solid bounded by polygonal regions, which are the faces of the polyhedron. These faces are formed by the intersection of planes, and the edges of the polyhedron are the line segments where these faces meet. The vertices are the points where the edges converge. Thus, a polyhedron is defined by its flat faces, straight edges, and vertices.


What solid has three faces two edges and no vertices?

Many solids. Some are: A sphere intersected by two planes, An ellipsoid intersected by two planes, Any blob intersected by two planes, A toroid (doughnut) with a wedge removed, A double-cone intersected by two planes, A cylinder.

What are examples of zero dimensional and one dimensional figures?

zero-dimensional examples: Endpoints of edges (vertices and corners) Zero-dimensional figures lie in two-dimensional planes. one-dimensional examples: Edges of figures (sides and arcs) One-dimensional figures lie in two-dimensional planes.
