Short answer: there isn't one. The polyhedron with the smallest number of faces (which is probably what you mean) is the tetrahedron, which has four faces.
Maybe you meant polygon, in which case the answer is a triangle.

Is a sphere a polyhedron?
No, a sphere is not a polyhedron.A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure whose sides are polygons.A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose faces are all congruent regular polygons.
Why is a three dimensional figure with curved surface not a polyhedron?
Because that is how a polyhedron is defined.
What is the name of a 3D 3 sided shape?
There is no polyhedron with only three sides - a polyhedron being a 3-D shape with plane sides. Once you remove the restriction of plane sides you get several options, some of which are: A cylinder or a cylindrical shape with partial spheres at each end (like a medicine capsule). A segment of a torus (a doughnut with a chunk cut out of it). A spherical wedge - like a segment of a round cheese (that is, real cheese, not the processed plastic that some people consider cheese).
What is 1 polyhedron?
a 3d objet with all flat sides
What is a polyhedron with 5 faces?
A Pyramid; Four sides and the base.
What is the difference between a polyhedron and a non polyhedron?
A polyhedron is a closed figure with several (planar) sides, and all its sides are planar. A non polyhedron does not have these properties, maybe it is not closed, maybe one or more of the sides is a curved surface. In some branches of topology the sides of a polyhedron cannot intersect each other.
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 is the name of a polyhedron having 7 sides?
Heptahedron.
How many sides does a polyhedron have?
A polyhedron is a solid shape with many sides. The word "polyhedron" does not specify a number of sides.
What is non-polyhedron?
A polyhedron has "many sides" (by definiton). The only 3-D shape which does not have "many sides" is a sphere (which technically only have one "side").
What are the flat sides of a polyhedron?
They are the faces of the polyhedron.
A polyhedron with two congruent sides?
It is a polyhedron with two congruent sides: nothing more, nothing less.
Why is a rectangle polyhedron not regular polyhedron?
The sides of a rectangle are not all equal so a rectangle is not a regular polygon. And, as a consequence, any 3-dimensional shape made from rectangles cannot be a regular polyhedron.
Why decahedron is not a regular polyhedron?
It is not a regular polyhedron because it has unequal sides
What is the name of a polyhedron that has 5 sides?
A polyhedron with 5 faces could be called a pentahedron, but a more common name would be a quadrilateral pyramid. A square pyramid is a special case of such a shape.
What is a polyhedron which has 2 equal side 2 equal angles and 3 vertices called?
How many sides does it have altogether? If it just has the 2 angles and side and 3 corners, there is no polyhedron with that discription.
What is a polyhedron and a prism that has 2 bases are hexagons and other faces are rectangles?
No polyhedron has five sides as a pentagon and a hexagon has six sides
