A Platonic Solid is a 3D shape where:

  • Each face is the same regular polygon.
  • The same number of polygons meet at each vertex.
  • There are only five platonic solids.

Example Questions

  • How many triangles meet at each vertices in a tetrahedron?

  • Which shape has 12 faces and 30 edges?

  • How many platonic solids are there?

  • How many faces does a cube have?

  • How many edges does an icosahedron have?

  • Which platonic shape has the most vertices?

  • What shape forms each face of the octahedron?

  • How many edges does a tetrahedron have?

  • What shape forms each face of the cube?

  • How many faces does an Icosahedron have?
