Could any polyhedron be the base of a pyramid?
No. Polyhedra are three-dimensional objects, and the base of any prism, strictly speaking, should be two-dimensional. Any convex polygon (which is two-dimensional) can form the base of a pyramid. A circle, which is technically not a polygon, is the only convex two-dimensional figure that cannot form the base of a pyramid because it forms the base of a cone.
Why is a three dimensional figure with curved surface not a polyhedron?
Because that is how a polyhedron is defined.
Is a cone two dimensional or three dimensional?
A cone with included interior is 3-dimensional. However, if you are not including the interior it is a 2-dimensional surface residing in a 3-d ambient space. If you're utilizing the common topological definition of dimension, you can derive that a cone (surface only) is 2 dimensional by looking at its open sets.
What is the difference between a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional figure?
2 dimensions is having only the dimensions of height and width, like a square. 3 dimensions is having height, width and depth, like a cube.
What is a plane figure in geometry?
A two-dimensional figure, also called a plane or planar figure, is a set of line segments or sides and curve segments or arcs, all lying in a single plane. The sides and arcs are called the edges of the figure. The edges are one-dimensional, but they lie in the plane, which is two-dimensional. The triangle, the pentagon, the hexagon and the circle are just a few plane figures. Prisms and pyramids, for instance, are three-dimension figures.
What Three-Dimensional Figure Has One Vertex?
Because the base of a cone is round, it is the only three dimensional figure with only one vertex.
What is an three dimensional figure with only one base?
A hemisphere is one example.
What is a three dimensional figure with only one base?
# Square Pyramid # Rectangular Pyramid # Triangular Pyramid
What is a 3 dimensional figure with only 1 base?
Cone or a pyramid

What is a two demensional figures?
a two dimensional figure is flat. it only has length and width. three dimensional figures have length, width and height. A square is a 2 dimensional figure, but a cube is a 3 dimensional figure.
What three dimensional figure only contain a polygon?
...All polyhedrons
Which three-dimensional figure with only 1 curved surface?
It is a sphere which looks like a globe
What makes a 3D figure three dimensional?
A 3D figure shows length, width and depth. While a 2D figure only shows length and width.
Why is a pentagon a polygon?
A polygon is a 2-dimensional closed figure that has at least three sides. A pentagon is a 2-dimensional closed figure that has five and only five sides, so it is a kind of polygon.
A closed three-dimensional figure formed by four or more polygons that intersect only at their edges?
A closed three-dimensional figure formed by four or more polygons that intersect only at their edges is called a polyhedron. It contains flat faces, straight edges, and sharp corners or vertices.
Why is a three dimensional figure with curved surface not a polyhedron?
Because that is how a polyhedron is defined.
