What is a Prism?Ī prism is any polyhedron that has two matching ends and flat sides. See the diagram above for an illustration of each of these regular polyhedrons. Icosahedron with twenty equilateral triangle faces.Dodecahedron with twelve pentagon faces.Octahedron with eight equilateral triangle faces.Tetrahedron with four equilateral triangle faces.The five regular solids are a special class of polyhedrons, all of whose faces are identical, with each face being a regular polygon. A cube is a regular polyhedron, having six square faces, 12 edges, and eight vertices. One of the most basic and familiar polyhedrons is the cube. Polyhedrons can also be concave or convex. Like polygons, polyhedrons can be regular (based on regular polygons) or irregular (based on irregular polygons). Polyhedrons are also often defined by the number of edges, faces and vertices they have, as well as whether their faces are all the same shape and size. See our page Properties of Polygons for more about working with polygons. Polyhedrons are based on polygons, two dimensional plane shapes with straight lines. Polyhedrons (or polyhedra) are straight-sided solid shapes. This page covers both straight-sided solids called polyhedrons, which are based on polygons, and solids with curves, such as globes, cylinders and cones. All physical items, things you can touch, are three-dimensional. Three-dimensional shapes, by their nature, have an inside and an outside, separated by a surface. A three-dimensional solid shape also has depth. This page examines the properties of three-dimensional or ‘solid’ shapes.Ī two-dimensional shape has length and width.
