An icosahedron is a regular polyhedron with 20 faces, all of which are equilateral triangles. An icosahedron has 30 edges and 12 vertices. Five equilateral triangles meet at each vertex.Know More
An icosahedron is an example of a Platonic solid, which is a polyhedron that is regular, convex, made of congruent faces of regular polygons, and has the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. Only five known shapes meet this criteria.
The other Platonic solids include the tetrahedron with four triangular faces, the cube, or hexahedron, with six square faces, the octahedron with eight triangular faces and the dodecahedron with twelve pentagonal faces.Learn More
Octahedra have eight faces. The answer to this question actually lies in the shape's name because the prefix "octa-" means "eight."Full Answer >
A square is a two-dimensional shape that does not have a face, but a square is one of the faces of a cube. Faces are associated with solid figures, such as cylinders, cubes and pyramids. Two-dimensional shapes have breadth and width, but they do not have thickness.Full Answer >
A dodecahedron has 12 faces. Each face in a regular dodecahedron is a regular pentagon. A dodecahedron also has 30 edges and 20 vertices, and three edges meet at each vertex.Full Answer >
A hexagonal prism has eight faces, six of which are rectangles, and two of which are hexagons. A hexagonal prism consists of a top and bottom hexagon that are both joined by straight lines connecting each set of vertices.Full Answer >
