What is meant by the word face in terms of platonic solid?
A platonic solid is a special kind of polyhedron. A polyhedron is a 3-D figure whose faces are polygons.In a platonic solid all faces are identical regular polygons. A polyhedron has faces, edges, and vertices. The numbers of each are related by Euler's formula, V+F=E+2
Different between platonic solids and archimedean solid?
what are the differences between platonic and archimedean solids? physically , naturely and features
Is a trapezoid a platonic solid?
A trapezoid is not a platonic solid. There are only five platonic solids. They are the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
A cube is a Platonic solid?
True...
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.
Another name for a regular polyhedron is?
A Platonic solid?

What do you call a polyhedron with faces that are all congruent regular polygons?
Its a platonic solid :)
What is the difference between a geometric solid than a polyhedron?
A polyhedron is in a subclass of geometric solids. The difference is that a polyhedron must have flat faces and straight edges.
More about plantonic solids?
do you mean "Platonic" a Platonic solid is a convex regular polyhedron. more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid
Is a polyhedron a cube?
A polyhedron is a solid with flat faces - a cube is just one of many different examples of regular polyhedra - otherwise known as platonic solids.
What is the definition of a platonic solid?
From Wikipedia:A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that is regular, in the sense of a regular polygon. Specifically, the faces of a Platonic solid are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. Moreover, all its edges are congruent, as are its vertices and angles.
What are the properties of a platonic solid?
A Platonic solid is a regular, convex polyhedron. The same amount of edges must meet at each vertex, all the faces need to be uniform, and all the dihedral angles must be the same.
Meaning of each platonic solid?
There are 5 platonic solids which are the only 5 regular polyhedra (possible).Plato attributed 4 of them to the 4 elements:Fire ≡ TetrahedronEarth ≡ CubeAir ≡ OctahedronWater ≡ IcosahedronAristotle added the fifth element "Ether" saying the heavens were made of it; he did not associate the fifth platonic solid, the Dodecahedron, to it.
What is a polyhedron with the fewest number of faces?
The Platonic solids, in order of number of faces, are:Tetrahedron - 4Cube - 6Octahedron - 8Dodecahedron - 12Icosahedron - 20Therefore, the fewest number of faces of a Platonic solid can be found on a tetrahedron.
What are examples of platonic solids?
A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that is regular, in the sense of a regular polygon. Specifically, the faces of a Platonic solid are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. They have the unique property that the faces, edges and angles of each solid are all congruent. Some examples are bricks, a dice, tissue boxes and houses.
Which figure has faces that are congruent to its bases?
A Platonic solid.A Platonic solid.A Platonic solid.A Platonic solid.
