Cylinders and cones are just polyhedrons with circular bases?
False. Cylinders and cones are not just polyhedrons with circular bases.
Are polyhedrons symmetrical?
not all, but some
What shapes are polyhedrons?
Polyhedrons are three-dimensional shapes with flat faces, straight edges, and sharp corners, known as vertices. Examples of polyhedrons include cubes, pyramids, prisms, and dodecahedrons. These shapes have a closed surface and are made up of polygons, which are two-dimensional shapes with straight sides.
Why are cylinders and cones not considered to be polyhedrons?
Cylinders and cones are not considered polyhedrons because they do not have flat faces, which is a defining characteristic of polyhedrons. Polyhedrons are three-dimensional shapes made up of flat surfaces, while cylinders and cones have curved surfaces. Additionally, polyhedrons have straight edges where faces meet, whereas cylinders and cones have curved edges. Therefore, cylinders and cones are classified as curved surfaces rather than polyhedrons.
What is the collective name of a cube tetrahedron dodecahedron and a octahedron?
Polygons ( means many sides). They are called solids or polyhedrons; they exist in three dimensions and not two.
