straight edges, and sharp corners. 2. A regular dodecahedron has an edge length of 5 cm.
Faces: The flat, 2D shapes that make up the sides. Determine its volume and its total surface area.
Edges: The straight-line segments where two flat faces
meet. 3. The faces of a solid figure are all triangles. The figure has
Vertices: The sharp corner points where the edges meet. nine vertices. At each of six of these vertices, four faces meet,
and each of the other three vertices, six faces meet. How many
faces does the figure have?
