Can a polygon be a solid?

No. A polygon is a plane area bounded by straight lines. The key term in this context is "plane". It is, therefore, 2 -dimensional shape. A solid, which is bounded by faces that are polygons, is called a polyhedron (plural = polyhedra).


What geometric solid has 4 side one pair of parallel lines and 360 degrees?

There is no such solid.


What is a one rounded side and that has three straight sides?

As a solid, it could be an eighth of an ellipsoid. Like one segment of a spherical fruit, cut in half along the three mutually vertical axes.


What are the different terms in solid mensuration?

1. Plane Figures- A flat, closed figure that is in a plane- A plane figure can be made of straight lines, curved lines, or both straight and curved lines.2. Solid Figures- The figures which occupy space are called solids.- Solids are three dimensional figures i.e., they have length, breadth & height.- There are two important facts related to solids-a. Every solid has a surface area. Some solids have plane surfaces, others have curved surfaces.b. Every solid has a 'bulk' & its bulk occupies some space.3. Surface area-It is the sum of areas of all visible (exposed) surfaces of a solid.4. Volume-It is the three dimensional space occupied by a solid, liquid or gas.5. Lateral surface area - is the sum of the surface areas of all its faces excluding the base.6. Total surface area - is the sum of the surface areas of all its faces including the base.


What solid does the net form?

The net typically forms a three-dimensional solid, often referred to as a polyhedron, when its edges are folded along the lines. The specific solid created depends on the shape and arrangement of the faces in the net; for example, a square net can form a cube, while a triangular net can create a tetrahedron. Each net is uniquely designed to correspond to a specific geometric solid.
