4. Three-Dimensional Figures
Sign In
A polyhedron is a space figure — a three-dimensional figure — whose surfaces are polygons. Each polygon is a face of the polyhedron. An edge is a segment that is formed by the intersection of two faces and a vertex is a point where three or more edges intersect.
Faces: 5
Edges: 9
Vertices: 6
A polyhedron is a space figure — a three-dimensional figure — whose surfaces are polygons. Each polygon is a face of the polyhedron.
We can see that our polyhedron has 9 edges: ST, TY, YS, RX, XW, WR, XS, TW, and YR. Finally, recall that a vertex is a point where three or more edges intersect.
Our polyhedron has 6 vertices, S, T, Y, R, X, and W. Let's summarize our results!
| Faces (5) | Edges (9) | Vertices (6) |
|---|---|---|
| Quadrilaterals: SXRY, TYRW, and STWX Triangles: STY and XWR |
ST, TY, YS, RX, XW, WR, XS, TW, and YR | S, T, Y, R, X, and W |
