Why is a sphere not called a polyhedron?
Because the literal meaning of polyhedron means 'many faces' A sphere has only one face.
A n has one base and one vertex but it is not a polyhedron?
A cone.
Base of a polyhedron?
it is a term for a face , its different for all, if the polyhedron is based off a 2d polygon, it is the side with that shape(usualy)(their may be more than one)
What is a polyhedron in which one face can be any polygon and the lateral faces are triangles that meet at a common vertex?
A pyramid has a polygonal base with all other sides being triangles. As the Egyptians famously demonstrated, a common pyramid has a square base with four triangles meeting at a vertex, but any polygon - regular or irregular - can be used as the base of such a polyhedron.
On a 3d shape what is one side of a face called?
The faces in a 3-D shape (polyhedron, for example) are bordered by edges.
What is a polyhedron that contains 0 bases?
A polyhedron has only polygonal faces and any one of them can be considered a base. Therefore a polyhedron with 0 bases cannot exist.
Why is a sphere not called a polyhedron?
Because the literal meaning of polyhedron means 'many faces' A sphere has only one face.
A polyhedron with one pentagonal base is a?
It is a pentagon.
A polyhedron with one pentagonal base is?
It is a pentagon.
A n has one base and one vertex but it is not a polyhedron?
A cone.
Polyhedron with one base and three triangular faces?
This is a "trigonal pyramid" or "tetrahedron."
What is a polyhedron that has one base and whose faces are triangles?
That seems to fit the description of a pyramid

What is the difference between a polyhedron and polyhedra?
One polyhedron; many polyhedra. Simple,wasn't that?

The faces in a 3-D shape (polyhedron, for example) are bordered by edges.
Why are the flat surfaces on a rectangular prism called faces?
The flat surfaces of all polyhedra are called faces and a rectangular prism is simply one kind of polyhedron.
