Yes.


Why are three dimensional figures with a curved surface not polyhedrons?

Three-dimensional figures with a curved surface are not considered polyhedrons because polyhedrons are defined as solids with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. Curved surfaces lack these flat faces and straight edges, which are essential characteristics of polyhedrons. Examples of shapes with curved surfaces include spheres and cylinders, which do not fit the definition of a polyhedron. Thus, the presence of curved surfaces distinguishes these figures from polyhedra.
