Name Differences Similarities 1. Tetrahedron

The document lists 5 polyhedrons - tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron - and describes their key differences regarding the number of faces, edges, and vertices, as well as their regular geometric shapes. However, the main similarity between all 5 polyhedrons is that they are 3D geometric figures defined as polyhedrons, or structures with flat faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices.

Name Differences Similarities

1. Tetrahedron In geometry, a tetrahedron A polyhedron


(plural: tetrahedra or
tetrahedrons), also known as a
triangular pyramid, is a
polyhedron composed of four
triangular faces, six straight
edges, and four vertex corners.
2. Hexahedron Is any polyhedron with six faces. A polyhedron
A hexahedron is a polyhedron
with six faces. The unique
regular hexahedron is the cube.
Two hexahedra can be built from
regular polygons with equal edge
lengths: the equilateral triangular
dipyramid and pentagonal
pyramid.
3. Octahedron In geometry, A polyhedron
an octahedron (plural: octahedra)
is a polyhedron with eight faces,
twelve edges, and six vertices.
The term is most commonly used
to refer to the
regular octahedron, a Platonic
solid composed of eight
equilateral triangles, four of
which meet at each vertex.

4. Dodecahedron A regular dodecahedron or A polyhedron


pentagonal dodecahedron is
a dodecahedron that is regular,
which is composed of twelve
regular pentagonal faces, three
meeting at each vertex

5. Icosahedron The regular icosahedron is the A polyhedron


regular polyhedron and Platonic
solid having 12 polyhedron
vertices, 30 polyhedron edges,
and 20 equivalent equilateral
triangle faces.
