4 vertices in 2 dimensional space has only one face with 4 edges. 4 vertices in 3 dimensional space has four faces with 4 edges. I don't know how to imagine dimensional spaces greater than 3, except with time as the 4th dimension. But even with that I cannot imagine a time vertex.
I believe that such an object cannot exist in normal 3-d space. If there are 6 vertices, the maximum number of edges is 12.
I AM A SPACE FIGURE WITH 5 FACES, 8 EDGES, AND 4 CORNERS. which SPACE FIGURE AM i?
It has 5 faces, 6 edges, 4 vertices, and 2 base. Bases are counted as faces too, but are polygonal and are translations of each other in space. So, they are congruent and are in parallel planes. * * * * * The above answer is utter nonsense. A triangular prism has 5 faces (two triangles and 3 rectangles), 9 edges and 6 vertices. Bases are counted as faces.
Such a shape cannot exist in ordinary 3 dimensional space.

a cube, or hexahedron.
In 2 dimensional space: a heptagon In 3 dimensional space: a heptahedron.
A triangular prism seems to fit the given description

Poly = manyHedron = corner (in 3-d space) So a polyhedron is a 3-d shape having many vertices (solid angles). The plural of polyhedron is polyhedra.
Such a shape cannot exist in ordinary 3 dimensional space.
A crystal is a mineral where all of the atoms are in a row, this is what makes it kind of clear. What determines its shape is the amount of space it has to form in and will usually have triangular pyramidal edges.
Having no definite volume means that the substance can expand or contract to fill the space it is in. Having no definite shape means that the substance takes the shape of its container. This describes the properties of gases, which are able to flow and expand to fill any space.
It is the set of points, in 3-dimensional space, defined by the intersection of two planes which define faces of the shape.
