It gets confusing. In a futile attempt to standardize terminology, use "sides" for 2d figures (the sides of a square), use "edges" for 3d figures (the edges of a prism) and use "faces" for 3d figures (the faces of a tetrahedron).

No they are not. In common usage, sides and faces are often used to mean the same thing. A six-sided die is actually one with six faces..

Is the decagon a regular?

Any Polygon can be a regular figure, if the figure has all straight sides and edges, with all the same length. If the decagon had all straight edges, sides, and same lengths of sides, it would be a regular figure. Otherwise, it would not, and would be an irregular Decagon. * * * * * That is not a correct answer. Any polygon, by definition MUST have all straight sides (which are the same as edges). What makes a polygon regular is that all the sides are the same length AND that all the interior angles are the same measure. Both these conditions must be met.
