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.

What shapes have more than six faces?
Shapes that have more than six faces include polyhedrons such as the cube, which has six square faces, and the octahedron, which has eight triangular faces. Additionally, shapes like the dodecahedron have twelve pentagonal faces, and the icosahedron has twenty triangular faces. These shapes are examples of polyhedrons with more than six faces.
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.
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 are two types of polyhedrons?
regular(5), (use 2d shapes) prisms , antiprisims, pyramid, dipyramid, deltohedron, gyrolongated dipyramid, wedge, (modified from regulars or others) truncated, compunds, regular mixes, rhombic
