Is a sphere a polyhedron or geometric solid?
A sphere is a geometric solid because it has 3 dimentions.
What polyhedron is a geometric solid where all the faces are the same and all the faces are equalateral triangles and has eight sides?
Octohedron, or diamond
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). .
Is a heptagon a polyhedron?
No, because a polyhedron is a solid with many flat faces. A heptagon is not a 3-D figure. However, a pyramid or prism would be a polyhedron.
What is the Geometric solid for a soup can?
Hey I'm in third grade and i know what the geometric solid is... IT'S A CYLINDER!
Is a cone a geometric solid or a polyhedron?
geometric solid
What is the difference between a platonic solid and a polyhedron?
WHat is the difference between polyheron and platonic solid
Is a sphere a polyhedron or geometric solid?
A sphere is a geometric solid because it has 3 dimentions.
Is a polyhedron a solid?
Polyhedron is a geometric solid in three dimensions with flat faces and straight edges.
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.
What polyhedron is a geometric solid where all the faces are the same and all the faces are equalateral triangles and has eight sides?
Octohedron, or diamond
Solid mensuration similar polyhedron problems with solution?
simlar polyhedron
Why are cylinders and cones not considered to be polyhedrons?
A polyhedron is defined as a "geometric solid in three dimensions with flat edges and straight faces". As both cylinders and cones have curved faces, neither are polyhedra.
How many sides does a polyhedron have?
A polyhedron is a solid shape with many sides. The word "polyhedron" does not specify a number of sides.
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.
What kind of polygon is a cube?
A cube is a solid figure called a polyhedron. A polyhedron is a solid figure with all flat faces. So a cone would be a solid figure but not a polyhedron becasue it has a curve and does not have all flat faces.
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.
