What are the faces on a polyhedra called?

They are called "faces".


What kind of polyhedra has more faces than vertices?

Bipyramids are a class of polyhedra with more faces than vertices.


What 3D shape has some triangular faces?

There are infinitely many polyhedra with one or more triangular faces.


What shape has flat faces?

There are many. All polyhedra have ONLY flat faces but many other shapes have flat faces such as a hemisphere or an octant or a cylinder.


Which 3 dimensional figure has faces that are always congruent and the same shape?

There are a few families of polyhedra with identical faces. There are none whose faces have 6 or more sides. There is no special name for polyhedra whose faces are pentagons or pentagrams. A dodecahedron is an example. If coplanar faces are disallowed, the only polyhedron with quadrilateral faces are the cube and rhombohedron. There are infinitely many polyhedra with equilateral triangular faces: the tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron are examples.


What shapes have identicle faces?

Regular polyhedra have identical faces.


What has all triangular faces except triangular pyramid?

There are infinitely many polyhedra all of whose faces are triangular.


How many faces do stellated polyhedra have?

The simplest stellated polyhedral shape is the stellated tetrahedron with 12 faces (3 * 4) Others have more faces.


What shape has two opposite identical faces?

A cube, a dodecahedron, an icosahedron amongst regular polyhedra. Many irregular polyhedra, including a prism.


How many faces does a 3D dodecagon have?

10 * * * * * Polyhedra are named according to the number of faces that they have. So a 3d dodecagon, called a dodecahedron would have 12 faces.


Is a polyhedron with two parallel congruent faces?

There are infinitely many such polyhedra. A regular dodecahedron, for example.


How many different polyhedra are there?

There are infinitely many polyhedra. There is no limit to the number of faces that a polyhedron can have. Given any polyhedron, simply cut off one vertex so that you will have a polyhedron with one more face. Also there are several versions of polyhedra with the same number of faces. A hexahedron, for example, can be a parallelepiped or a pentagon based pyramid or a triangular based dipyramid.
