A dodecahedron is a polyhedron with 12 faces. There are 6,384,634 topologically distinct convex dodecahedra with 8 or more vertices. A hexagonal bipyramid, a dodecadeltahedron, a triakis tetrahedron are examples of dodecahedra all of whose faces are triangles. There are many more dodecahedra in which some, but not all, faces are triangles.

What do the platonic solids look like?
The Platonic solids in modern Euclidean geometry are five regular polyhedra. These are three-dimensional objects that are bounded by regular polygonal faces. They are: Tetrahedron (or triangular pyramid): 4 triangular faces; Hexahedron (cube): 6 square faces; Octahedron: 8 triangular faces; Dodecahedron: 12 pentagonal faces; Icosahedron: 20 triangular faces. See link for more.
Does a dodecahedron have parallel faces?
A dodecahedron is a polyhedron with 12 faces, each of which is a regular pentagon. In a dodecahedron, the faces are not parallel to each other. The planes of the faces intersect at various angles, giving the dodecahedron its unique shape and properties.
How many faces does a dodecahedron?
Every dodecahedron - not just an average one, has 12 faces. It can have as few as 8 vertices.
How many sides on a dodecahedron?
When you say "sides", do you mean faces or edges? A dodecahedron has 12 faces and 30 edges.
What is a 3d shape with 24 faces?
Some polyhedra with 24 faces include:A triaugmented dodecahedron, which consists of 15 triangular faces and 9 pentagonal faces.A disphenocingulum, which consists of 20 triangular faces and 4 quadrilateral faces.A triakis octahedron, which consists of 24 triangular faces.A tetrakis hexahedron, otherwise known as a disdyakis cube, which consists of 24 triangular faces - the appearance of a cube on the inside, with six pyramidal faces on each cubic face.A trapezoidal icositetrahedron, which consists of 24 quadrilateral faces.And a pentagonal icositetrahedron, which consists of 24 pentagonal faces.
