How the names of the polyhedrons help you to know the number of faces?
In the same way that knowing the names of polygons helps you to know how many sides it has. Polygon means many sides and polyhedron means many faces
What are some polyhedrons?
A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional shape bounded by 4 or more plane faces. The prefices for the smaller numbers are pretty well known: tetrahedron (4), penta-, hexa-, etc. Beyond 10, the only common prefices are dodeca- (12) and icosa- (20). For most polyhedra with a large number of faces, the sensible and user friendly way is to refer to it as an n-hedron where n is the number of faces. However, some pretentious and user unfriendly people will insist on using unfamiliar prefices.

How many edges does a gemstone with 10 faces and 12 vertices have?
Euler can help you answer this question. Euler's formula says number of faces plus number of vertices minus the number of edges equal 2. In symbols we write F+V-E=2. So in this case we have 10+12-E=2 So E=20 and there are twenty edges.
What skills do programs like faces help develop?
something:)
Can I use serial killers names, faces, stories.. for my brand?
You can, as long as you have copyright permission.
How many curved faces does cone have?
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_curved_faces_does_cone_have HELP ME!
If you know the numbers of faces and vertices in a polyhedron how can you calculate the number of edges with out counting them?
the is a pattern example a rectangular prism has 6 faces , 8 vertices and 12 edges. the pattern is add 2 then add 4 so to calculate you should first find the pattern or if you need more help go to www.math.com.
How do you find area of the congruent faces?
It depends on the shape of the face. Congruence is of no help in this respect.
