Triangles are polygons (two-dimensional) . Only polyhedrons have faces, verticles and edges. You could define as triangle as having either one or two faces (top/bottom), three vertices, and three edges.For pyramids and other polyhedrons, F + V - E = 2e.g.- a three-sided pyramid has 4 faces, 6 edges, and 4 vertices.- a four-sided pyramid has 5 faces, 8 edges, and 5 vertices
Hexagons are a subcategory of polygons because they are defined as six-sided polygons. Polygons are flat, two-dimensional shapes with straight sides, and they can have any number of sides. Since hexagons meet the criteria of having straight edges and being enclosed, they fit within the broader category of polygons. Thus, all hexagons are polygons, but not all polygons are hexagons.
I'm unable to see images or graphics directly. However, Platonic solids are characterized by having faces that are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. The five types of Platonic solids are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. If you describe the solid, I can help identify it!
No. You could, for example, have a square and a rhombus with sides twice as large.

Polygons aren't normally described as having faces Polyhedrons are normally described as having faces So it could be a tetrahedron which is a triangular based pyramid
There are only five geometric solids that can be made using a regular polygon and having the same number of these polygons meet at each corner. The five Platonic solids (or regular polyhedra) are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron

They are all polygons having their own particular properties

From http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=polyhedronpolyhedron1570, from Gk. polyedron, neut. of adj. polyedros"having many bases or sides," from polys "many" (see poly-) + hedra "seat, base, chair, face of a geometric solid," from PIE base *sed- "to sit" (see sedentary).So, they are many sided geometric solids.
polygons dont necessarily mean quadrilaterals. quadrilaterals are shapes with 4 sides whereas polygons can have 3 or more sides. so, a quadrilateral is a polygon, but having a polygon doesnt mean you have a quadrilateral.
hi polygons are named according to their no of sides for example a polygon having 5 sides is named as pentagon polygon having 6 sides is known as hexagon 7 sides has named as heptagon and so on
