Platonic solids

In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex regular polyhedron. These are the three-dimensional analogs of the convex regular polygons. There are precisely five such figures (shown below). They are unique in that the faces, edges and angles are all congruent.
The Five Convex Regular Polyhedra (Platonic solids)

The name of each figure is derived from the number of its faces: respectively 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20. The aesthetic beauty and symmetry of the Platonic solids have made them a favorite subject of geometers for thousands of years. They are named for the ancient Greek philosopher Plato who theorized the classical elements were constructed from the regular solids.for more details visit
