An irregular polyhedron is a solid shape in which either all edges are not the same length, or all faces are not congruent polygons or all [solid] angles are not of the same measure.

What shapes go in the category of irregular polyhedra?

A polyhedron is a plane shape, enclosing a single space, which is bounded by straight lines.If ALL angles and ALL sides are equal, then it is a regular polyhedron. All other polyhedra are irregular.Note that if any of the sides is not straight then the shape is not a polyhedron at all, and so cannot be an irregular polyhedron.A polyhedron is a plane shape, enclosing a single space, which is bounded by straight lines.If ALL angles and ALL sides are equal, then it is a regular polyhedron.

What are the dimensions of a shape with volume 3000 cm cubed?

There are infinitely many possible answers. The shape has not been specified so it could be a sphere, ellipsoid, toroid (doughnut shape), cube, cuboid, parallelepiped, any regular or irregular polyhedron, any irregular lump, or any combination of shapes from this list, and other possibilities.There are infinitely many possible answers.

Some do, some don't. A regular polyhedron such as the tetrahedron has none whereas an irregular one like the parallelepiped can have several.

What is lateral face of a 3 dimensional figure?

Polyhedron* * * * *A polyhedron is a 3 dimensional figure, not its face! The face of a 3-d figure is a plane figure. It may be a polygon, of a circle or some irregular shape. The main requirement is that it is a plane (2-d) figure: if not, it is not usually called a face.
