Polyhedron is a solid in geometry with many flat faces, typically polygons, joined by edges. It contrasts with a polyhedron consisting of a single polygonal surface and with smooth-curved solids. The term combines poly- “many” with -hedron “face,” and is used to describe three-dimensional figures like cubes and dodecahedra. It denotes a class of polyhedral shapes in mathematical contexts and education.
