A non polyhedron does not have these properties, maybe it is not closed, maybe one or more of the sides is a curved surface. In some branches of topology the sides of a polyhedron cannot intersect each other.

What is the difference between a polyhedron and a non polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a closed figure with several (planar) sides, and all its sides are planar. A non polyhedron does not have these properties, maybe it is not closed, maybe one or more of the sides is a curved surface. In some branches of topology the sides of a polyhedron cannot intersect each other.


What is the difference between a polyhedron and a non-polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices, such as cubes and pyramids. In contrast, a non-polyhedron includes shapes that do not fit this definition, such as spheres, cylinders, and cones, which have curved surfaces and do not consist entirely of flat faces. Essentially, the key difference lies in the presence of flat polygonal faces in polyhedra versus the curved surfaces in non-polyhedra.


What is non-polyhedron?

A polyhedron has "many sides" (by definiton). The only 3-D shape which does not have "many sides" is a sphere (which technically only have one "side").

Any polyhedron can be the base of a pyramid.?

No. A polyhedron is a three dimensional body. The base of a pyramid is a two dimensional figure.But any non self-intersecting polygon can be the base of a pyramid.


What is a non polyhedron with 2 parallel bases that are congruent?

It is a prism with non-polygonal bases. The bases simply be two identically shaped "blobby" shapes.


What makes a polyhedron faceted?

The definition of polyhedron. If it was not faceted it would not be a polyhedron.

What does non polyhedron mean?

It is something that is not a polyhedron. that would includethings which are not shapes, such as concepts (for example a thought, or blue or sour),shapes which have fewer than 3 dimensions,3-dimensional shapes withone or more curved surfaces or edges.
