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.

What is the difference between a polyhedron and a non polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid with flat faces, straight edges, and sharp corners, while a non-polyhedron does not have these characteristics. Polyhedra are made up of polygons that enclose a single region of space, while non-polyhedra may have curved faces or intersecting edges. In mathematical terms, a polyhedron satisfies Euler's formula (V - E + F = 2), where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces, while a non-polyhedron does not.


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?

How many sides does a polyhedron have?

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?

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.
