A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional shape bounded by 4 or more plane faces. The prefices for the smaller numbers are pretty well known: tetrahedron (4), penta-, hexa-, etc. Beyond 10, the only common prefices are dodeca- (12) and icosa- (20). For most polyhedra with a large number of faces, the sensible and user friendly way is to refer to it as an n-hedron where n is the number of faces. However, some pretentious and user unfriendly people will insist on using unfamiliar prefices. You may find help deciphering these at

Not true.
No. Polyhedrons are any shape with multiple sides. A triangle and a prism are just two different kinds of polyhedrons.
Yes, an empty box is and No, polyhedrons don't have to be.
Polyhedrons are defined as three-dimensional shapes with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. Therefore, objects that do not meet these criteria, such as spheres, cylinders, and cones, are not considered polyhedrons. Additionally, shapes with curved surfaces or those that are not fully enclosed do not qualify as polyhedrons.
True. Some polyhedrons do not fit the definitions of prisms or pyramids. For example, a truncated tetrahedron is a polyhedron that has faces that are not all parallel and does not converge to a single point, which disqualifies it from being categorized as a prism or a pyramid.
not all, but some
Not true.
A prism is a polyhedron.
true
true
I can just think of the pentagonal pyramid.
No. Polyhedrons are any shape with multiple sides. A triangle and a prism are just two different kinds of polyhedrons.
Yes, an empty box is and No, polyhedrons don't have to be.
False. Cylinders and cones are not just polyhedrons with circular bases.
True. Some polyhedrons do not fit the definitions of prisms or pyramids. For example, a truncated tetrahedron is a polyhedron that has faces that are not all parallel and does not converge to a single point, which disqualifies it from being categorized as a prism or a pyramid.
polyhedrons need flat face and edges, corners which cylinder cones don't have.
