1 Polyhedra

2 A polyhedra is simply a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, usually joined at their edges.

3 Polygon vs Polyhedra The words are derived from the Greek word poly (many) and gon (side) or hedra (face). A polyhedra is a 3-D shape with many faces. A polygon is a 2-D shape with many sides.

11 Hexagedra Net There are many different nets for a hexahedron or cube. Look at the nets below, which one will make a cube or hexhedra?

12 Octahedra A Octahedron is a 3-D figure made up of eight equilateral triangles.

13 Hexagedra Net A net is a the two-dimensional pattern.
