Polyhedra are 3-dimensional shapes bounded by polygons. Polygons are flat [plane] shapes bounded by straight lines. So a polyhedron cannot have any curved faces.

Which three-dimensional figures have circular bases?
Cones, cylinders.
Why aren't cylinders and cones and spheres polygons?
polygons have faces and cylinders and cone and spheres only has bases not faces.
What are examples of prisms pyramids cylinders and cones in real life?
Prisms: Feed troughs, bathtubs, and boxes. Pyramids: Pyramids of Egypt and the Aztecs. Cylinders: Cans, pistons, tubes, and pipes. Cones: Ice cream cones, funnels, and the bottom part of a water tower.
How are cylinders and cones alike in math?
They have at least one circular base.
How are the surface area formulas of cones and cylinders similar?
They both depend on circumference not perimeter.
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.
Cylinders and cones are just polyhedrons with circular bases?
False. Cylinders and cones are not just polyhedrons with circular bases.
Which three-dimensional figures have circular bases?
Cones, cylinders.
How are pyramids and cones different than prisms and cylinders?
They depend on radius rather than perimeter.
Why aren't cylinders and cones and spheres polygons?
polygons have faces and cylinders and cone and spheres only has bases not faces.
What 3 dimensional figure has a round base?
Cones, hemispheres, and cylinders have.
Are cones and cylinders polyhedra?
No. They have curved edges, so they can't be polyhedra.
What is the similarity among spheres cones and cylinders?
A circular cross-section.
What are examples of prisms pyramids cylinders and cones in real life?
Prisms: Feed troughs, bathtubs, and boxes. Pyramids: Pyramids of Egypt and the Aztecs. Cylinders: Cans, pistons, tubes, and pipes. Cones: Ice cream cones, funnels, and the bottom part of a water tower.
Why aren't cylinders cones and spheres polyhedrons geometry?
polyhedrons need flat face and edges, corners which cylinder cones don't have.
How are cylinders and cones alike in math?
They have at least one circular base.
How are the surface area formulas of cones and cylinders similar?
They both depend on circumference not perimeter.
