A description + derivation of the Platonic and Archimedean solids In this repo I want to play around with and discuss the class of polyhedra called the Archimedean solids. They are a super cool group ...

And shapes with more sides, like heptagons or octagons, can’t fit together to make the minimum three faces to make a corner. Therefore we can only make five Platonic solids.

A polygon is regular if it is uniform and its faces are all alike. The regular convex polyhedra are the five Platonic solids, which have been known since classical Greece. The ancient Greek ...

My teachers had a difficult time teaching me how to find the surface area of a 3-D object, especially when I was looking at a 2-dimensional diagram. My goal is to teach people the concept of area and ...

Plato turned that into the Platonic solids, which are a series of regular 3D shapes, meaning with sides that are all squares, for example, or equilateral triangles —the 3D versions of different ...
