The Name Platonic solid Comes from Plato the second main reseacher of the five solids. Pythagoras was the one discovered the platonic solids
Because 6 platonic solids would be too many, and 4 wouldn't be enough
Platonic solids
There are 5 platonic solids. They are: Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Icosahedron, Cube, and Dodecahedron
it wouldn't really make much sense if there were only 4 or 6.
