(1) and (2) are convex polyhedrons whereas
(3) and (4) are non convex polyhedron.
(b) Regular polyhedra or platonic solids:
A polyhedron is regular if its faces are congruent regular
polygons and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.
For example, a cube is a platonic solid because all six of its
faces are congruent squares. There are five such solids–
tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron.
e.g.
• A prism is a polyhedron whose bottom and top faces (known as
bases) are congruent polygons and faces known as lateral faces
are parallelograms (when the side faces are rectangles, the shape
is known as right prism).
• A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon and lateral
faces are triangles.
• A map depicts the location of a particular object/place in relation
to other objects/places.
