What is the definition and example of a vertex?
a corner.
Are vertex and side same thing?
Not exactly because for example two sides of a polygon meet at a vertex which is singular for vertices.
What is the vertex of a point?
The concept of a vertex, which is the intersecting point between two or more geometrical shapes, is meaningless in this case. A point can't have a vertex since it has no shape. A vertex, however can be a point. For example, if one 2-D line intersects another 2-D line, that point of intersection is the vertex.
What is the difference between vertex and vertices?
vertices are the corners of something fo example a square has 4 vertices and a vertex is the point of intersection of lines or the point opposite the base of a figure
How many edges meet at each vortex and does this happen to all polyhedrons?
A vortex is a form of rotating fluid flow: for example a whirlpool. A vertex, on the other hand, is a point where lines meet. There can be two or more lines meeting at a vertex: there is no limit to how many. For example, the apex of a pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides, will be a vertex where n edges meet (for any integer n).
