How faces at each vertex does a cuboid have?
A cuboid has 6 faces, with 3 faces meeting at each vertex.
When cube one of the (five) Platonic solids. Name the other Platonic solids and describe the characteristics of each. How many faces does it have What shape are the faces How many faces come together?
Tetrahedron 3 triangles meet at each vertex 4 Faces 4 Vertices 6 Edges Cube 3 squares meet at each vertex 6 Faces 8 Vertices 12 Edges Octahedron 4 triangles meet at each vertex 8 Faces 6 Vertices 12 Edges Dodecahedron 3 pentagons meet at each vertex 12 Faces 20 Vertices 30 Edges Icosahedron 5 triangles meet at each vertex 20 Faces 12 Vertices 30 Edges
How many regular triangles meet at each vertex?
In two dimensions 6 triangles meet at a vertex. In 3-dimensions any number of triangles (greater than 2) can meet at a vertext - a pyramid with the base in the shape of an n-gon will have n triangles meeting at its apex.
What are regular and irregular solids?
A regular solid is also called a platonic solid. It is a solid whose faces are identical regular polygons. There are 5 such solids. There are only 5 of them because a regular solid has 3, 4 or 5 regular polygons meeting at a vertex. If you look at the maximum number of angles you can see why there are exactly 5 platonic solids. The 5 platonic solid are: Tetrahedron where 3 triangles meet at each vertex, the octahedron where 4 meet at each vertex and the last one made of triangles is the icosahedrons which 5 triangles at each vertex, the cube which has 3 squares meeting at each vertex, and lastly the dodecahedron which is made up of regular pentagons with 3 meet at each vertex. In each case, you can see that 5 is the most number of triangles since 6 would be 6 x 60 degrees >360, 4 squares would be 4 x 90=360, and pentagons have interior angles of 108 degrees so you have (3×108°=324°). Anything more than that is greater than or equal to 360 degrees so not possible. Furthermore, a hexagon has an interior angle of 120 degrees so you cannot have 3 meeting at a vertex. A very famous mathematician named Euler also has a formula for the number of faces and vertices which if F+V-E=2 and anything more than the 5 regular solids would violate Euler's formula which has been proven to be true. Solids that are not regular are irregular solids.
How many faces come together at each vertex of cube?
Three.

What octahedron triangle for all their faces?
A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid with equilateral triangles for each of the faces. A heptagonal pyramid is an octahedron with one heptagon (a seven sided figure) as its base and 7 triangles, one attached to each side, meeting at the either vertex.

What geometric figure has 5 faces 8 edges 5 vertices?
The figure is a square pyramid. It is made with a square on the bottom and 4 triangles meeting at a vertex perpindicular to the square. The square has 1 face, the 4 triangles each have one face making 5 faces. The edges are made where the triangles meet each other and where they each meet the square. There are four vertices at the corners of the square and the one at the top of the pyramid.
How many regular triangles meet at each vertex?
In two dimensions 6 triangles meet at a vertex. In 3-dimensions any number of triangles (greater than 2) can meet at a vertext - a pyramid with the base in the shape of an n-gon will have n triangles meeting at its apex.
What is a tatrahedron?
A tetrahedron is a geometric solid with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices. It is a type of polyhedron with triangular faces meeting at each vertex.
How many faces of square - based pyramid?
In a square- based pyramid there are 5 facesThere are five faces: The square base, and the four triangles from each side of the square to the top (or bottom) vertex.
What is the number of an icosahedron or the number of vertices of a dodecahedron?
An icosahedron has 20 faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertexes. 5 polygons meet at each vertex and each face has 3 vertexes (therefore made of triangles). A dodecahedron has 12 faces, 30 edges, and 20 vertexes. 3 polygons meet at each vertex and each face has 5 vertexes (therefore made of pentagons).

What are the three triangles?
A tetrahedron is a 3 dimensional shape bounded by 4 triangular faces. It has 4 vertices and six edges. Three faces meet at each vertex so that the shape is self-dual.
