It's a polyhedron.

A polyhedron (plural: polyhedra) is a three - dimensional figure made up of sides called faces, each face being a polygon.

What is a solid that is bounded by polygons called faces that enclose a single region of space?

It is called a polyhedron.


What is solid that bounded by polygon?

A solid cannot be bounded by one polygon. A solid bounded by polygons is called a polyhedron.


Can a polygon be a solid?

No. A polygon is a plane area bounded by straight lines. The key term in this context is "plane". It is, therefore, 2 -dimensional shape. A solid, which is bounded by faces that are polygons, is called a polyhedron (plural = polyhedra).


Why is a pyramid a polyhedron?

A pyramid, as well as any other solid figure bounded by plane polygons or faces, is a polyhedron.


Why is a cone not called a polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a solid object bounded by polygons. Polygons are plane shapes [bounded by straight lines]. The curved surface of a cone is not a polygon and so the cone is not bounded by polygons and therefore, a cone is not a polyhedron.


What polygons make up a solid is called?

They are called faces of the polyhedron.


Polygons that make up a solid are called?

They are faces the polyhedron.


How many faces has a polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a generic term to describe a closed 3-dimensional (solid) shape that is bounded by polygons. It can have 4 or more faces - any number.


Are pyramids polygons cylinders or prisms polyhendrons?

A polygon is a plane (2-dimensional) object bounded by straight lines. A polyhedron (not polyhendron!) is a solid (3-dimensional) object bounded by polygonal faces. So, pyramids and some prisms are polyhedra. A cylinder is a type of prism but, because two of its faces are circular, those faces are not polygons. As a result a cylinder is not a polyhedron.


What solid figure has flat faces that are polygons?

A solid figure that has flat faces that are polygons is called a polyhedron. Polyhedra have various forms, such as cubes, tetrahedra, and octahedra, each defined by the shape and number of their polygonal faces. The faces of a polyhedron are connected by edges, and the points where the edges meet are called vertices. Examples include regular polyhedra, where all faces are identical polygons, such as the Platonic solids.


Why cant you use regular polygons as the faces of a platonic solid?

The faces of Platonic solids are regular polygons...


What is a solid figure with faces that are polygons?
