Undid revision 1024715813 by Fgnievinski (talk) do you always universally repeat duplicate word synonyms? "Planar surface" already is sufficient; we don't have to call it a planar surface region area patch. |

Line 1:
In [[solid geometry]], a '''face''' is a flat ([[Plane (geometry)|planar]]) surface
In more technical treatments of the geometry of polyhedra and higher-dimensional [[polytope]]s, the term is also used to mean an element of any dimension of a more general polytope (in any number of dimensions).<ref name="m">{{citation|title=Lectures in Discrete Geometry|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0N5RVe5lKQUC&pg=PA86|at=5.3 Faces of a Convex Polytope, p. 86|volume=212|series=[[Graduate Texts in Mathematics]]|publisher=Springer|year=2002|author-link=Jiří Matoušek (mathematician)|first=Jiří|last=Matoušek|isbn = 9780387953748}}.</ref>
