A figure made up of simple geometric shapes?

A geometric solid. The answer is NOT polyhedron. A cone, for example, which is a figure made up of the most simple geometric shapes (a straight line) and a circle, is not a polyhedron.


Is a polyhedron a solid?

YES!!! 'poly' means 'many( faces'. 'Hedron' means a 3-dimensional object. Hence polyhedron is a 'three dimensional object of many faces'.

Why is a hexahedron considered a polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a solid shape with four or more polygonal faces. A hexahedron is a solid shape with six polygonal faces and so is a particular type of polyhedron.

Is a triangle a polyhedron?

A triangle is not a polyhedron. A triangle is a two-dimensional figure, and a polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid. An example of a triangular-shaped polyhedron is a pyramid.


What's the difference between a polygon and a polyhedron?

polyhedron is often defined as a geometric object with flat faces and straight edges polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path or circuit, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments (i.e., by a closed polygonal chain). .


Difference between fractals and other geometric figures?

Traditional geometric figures have dimensions which are integers: 0 for a point, 1 for a line or Mobius strip, 2 for a plane figure or Klein bottle, and 3 for a solid. Fractals have dimensions which are not integers.
