What platonic solid has pentagons for faces?
The platonic solid that has pentagons for faces is the dodecahedron. It consists of 12 regular pentagonal faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges. The dodecahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, which are characterized by their faces being congruent regular polygons meeting at each vertex.
Why can a regular hexagon not be the face of a platonic solid?
Three regular hexagons meeting at a vertex would form a tessellation. So they would form a plane not a solid.
What are examples of platonic solids?
A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that is regular, in the sense of a regular polygon. Specifically, the faces of a Platonic solid are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. They have the unique property that the faces, edges and angles of each solid are all congruent. Some examples are bricks, a dice, tissue boxes and houses.
What is the name of the Platonic solid shown below?
I'm unable to see images or graphics directly. However, Platonic solids are characterized by having faces that are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. The five types of Platonic solids are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. If you describe the solid, I can help identify it!
Is a cone a Platonic solid?
No, a cone is not a Platonic solid. The Platonic solids are the five regular polyhedra: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
What platonic solid is a pyramid?
The platonic solids are: a tetrahedron, a cube, an octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. A pyramid has a base with triangles attached to it with a common vertex. The platonic solid that is a pyramid is a tetrahedron (a triangular based pyramid).
What is the definition of a platonic solid?
From Wikipedia:A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that is regular, in the sense of a regular polygon. Specifically, the faces of a Platonic solid are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. Moreover, all its edges are congruent, as are its vertices and angles.
What are the properties of a platonic solid?
A Platonic solid is a regular, convex polyhedron. The same amount of edges must meet at each vertex, all the faces need to be uniform, and all the dihedral angles must be the same.
Why isn't a cubeoid a platonic solid?
Quite simply, it doesn't fulfill the requirements for a "platonic solid", which include the requirement that all bounding areas must be regular polygons. A square is a regular polygon; a rectangle is not.
Why can a regular hexagon not be the face of a platonic solid?
Three regular hexagons meeting at a vertex would form a tessellation. So they would form a plane not a solid.
Which figure has faces that are congruent to its bases?
A Platonic solid.A Platonic solid.A Platonic solid.A Platonic solid.
What is an octahendron?
Well a Regular Octahendron is simply a platonic solid composed of 8 equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex.
What are examples of platonic solids?
A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that is regular, in the sense of a regular polygon. Specifically, the faces of a Platonic solid are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. They have the unique property that the faces, edges and angles of each solid are all congruent. Some examples are bricks, a dice, tissue boxes and houses.
Why dont the Platonic solid look alike?
Platonic solids are convex regular polyhedra. The faces of a platonic sold are all congruent polygons and they are all regular.The number of sides that meet at a vertex is the same for all vertices. When the sides are triangles, the platonic sold is a tetrahedron. This will NOT look the same as a cube where the sides are squares. So how the Platonic solid looks depends on the shape of its sides and very one of the five of them has different shaped sides.

Is a cylinder a platonic solid?
No. All the faces of a Platonic solid are identical regular polygons.
