RafaRegular solids, also known as platonic solids, have faces that are congruent regular polygons and identical vertices. Examples include the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Irregular solids, on the other hand, do not have congruent faces or identical vertices. They can have a mix of different types of faces and vertices, making them more complex in shape and structure. Examples of irregular solids include prisms, pyramids, and various other geometric shapes with non-uniform faces and vertices.

How do you find the volume of a irregular solid?
you cut it into regular solids then figure out those then add them together
What is the difference between a regular-shaped solid and an irregular-shaped solid?
the difference between the an irregular and regular solids are that an irregular solid has sides that are not even and you cant measuer with a ruler and you can not measuer it exactly. a regular solid you can measure without a problem with a ruler.
What is the difference between a geometric solid than a polyhedron?
A polyhedron is in a subclass of geometric solids. The difference is that a polyhedron must have flat faces and straight edges.
What is unique about the platonic solids?
They are regular polyhedra.
How did the platonic solids get their name?
The Platonic solids were name after the Greek philosopher Plato, who theorized that the classical elements were constructed from the regular solids.
