REGULAR SOLIDS

Regular Solids are any polyhedron that can be inscribed in or circumscribed about a sphere
Polyhedron is a solid in 3 dimensions with flat faces, straight edges and corners or vertices are
all sharp
There are 5 regular solids:
1. Tetrahedron

A Tetrahedron is a polyhedron which has 4 equilateral triangles as faces, has 4 vertices and
6 edges
The tetrahedrons Surface Area is

And the volume is

2. Cube or Hexahedron

Is a polyhedron with six squares as its faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges

The Cubes SA is 6a

And its volume is a

3. Octahedron



Octahedron is a polyhedron with 8 equilateral triangles as faces, its vertices 6 and 12 edges
