Tetrahedron - basic to theory of chemical bonds and one of the classic Platonic solid shapes
The most common pyramid shapes have 3 faces on a triangular base or 4 faces on a square face. Other pyramid shapes may have more faces corresponding to the shape of the base.
Some of the basic 3D shapes are:spherecubecuboidcylinderrectangular prismtriangular prismhexagonal prismconesquare-based pyramidtriangular-based pyramidhexagonal pyramidThere are an unlimited number of 3d shapes. These are called polyhedrons, and their names are from the Greek word for the quantity (number) of faces (sides) on each shape. All faces are exactly the same as each other on regular polyhedrons; one or more faces are different from the other faces on irregular polyhedrons. A few of the countless number of polyhedron names, with the name following the number of faces on the 3d shape are:4 tetrahedron (a regular tetrahedron is a pyramid with 3 sloping sides and a base)5 pentahedron (a regular pentahedron is a pyramid with 4 sloping sides and a base)6 hexahedron (a regular hexahedron is a cube, having 4 sides, a top, and a base)10 decahedron12 dodecahedron24 icositetrahedron90 enneacontahedron
No 3D shape with FLAT SIDES has exactly 3 faces. 4 is the minimum.
Actually, there is such thing as a polyhedron. Its a 3D shape and it's faces are all the same shapes. Doesn't matter what shape, actually. ^^^ ok, to the dude who answered before me (above): you're a butt... you didn't answer the freaking question! Its 6
A tetrahedron (4 faces) and an icosahedron (20).
a triangular pyramid
2 squares & 4 rectangles.
It has 4 faces

You can find a polyhedron with any number greater than 4 of vertices or faces. However, a torus, ellipsoid, sphere, paraboloid, hyperboloid are all standard shapes with no vertices. Cylinders, too, have no vertices. And there are many completely random shapes - a lump of putty, for example, which will have no vertex.
A dodecahedron (literally, "12 face solid").The "regular dodecahedron" has 12 identical faces, all regular pentagons ("5 sided flat shape").But there are many, many other 3d shapes with 12 faces, including the rhombic dodecahedron which has 12 identical faces, all 4 sided parallelograms.what shape has 12 faces?
There is no such thing as a 3d triangle. A 3d shape which has only equilateral triangular faces can be a tetrahedron which has 4 faces or an icosahedron which has 20.
The 3-D shape that has 4 faces is the tetrahedron. All of its faces are triangular, and they all converge at a single vertex.
Such a shape does not exits. See the attached link for all 3d shapes with 6 plane faces.
it is a 3D shape and has 4 sides
3d shapes with plane faces are called polyhedra (singular = polyhedron). The minimum number of vertices is 4, there is no maximum.
