What are the faces of a polyhedron?

Back

The faces of a polyhedron are the flat surfaces that make up the shape.

Front

What are vertices in a polyhedron?

Back

Vertices are the corners or points where the edges of a polyhedron meet.

What is a triangular pyramid?

Back

A triangular pyramid is a polyhedron with a triangular base and three triangular faces that meet at a point.

Front

What is a net in geometry?

Back

A net is a 2-dimensional representation of a polyhedron that can be folded to form the 3-dimensional shape.
