We establish a historical context for the Platonic solids, show various properties of their features, and prove why there can be no more than ve in total. We will also discuss the nite groups of symmetries on a line, in a plane, and in three dimensional space.
31 Δεκ 2016 · Platonic solid. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In three-dimensional space, a Platonic solid is a regular, convex polyhedron. It is constructed by congruent regular polygonal faces with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. Five solids meet those criteria:
What are Platonic solids? You might have heard of “regular polygons”. Examples include the equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon. They have the same number of edges as vertices, and all angles are the same. In 2D there are an infinite number of regular polygons. But what about regular shapes in 3D? They must satisfy these conditions:
Platonic solids are regular, convex polyhedrons in 3D with equivalent faces. There are 5 types of platonic solids. Learn all about the interesting concept of platonic shapes, their properties, its types along with solving examples.
In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are congruent (identical in shape and size) regular polygons (all angles congruent and all edges congruent), and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.
In this section we describe the five Platonic solids and reference Euclid’s Elements on their existence and uniqueness. We give references addressing the Pythagorean’s knowledge of these solids. Definition. A polyhedron is regular if its faces are congruent regular polygons and if its polyhedral angles are congruent. Note 3.9.A.
The Platonic solids. The purpose of this addendum to the course notes is to provide more information about regular solid figures, which played an important role in Greek mathematics and philosophy. We shall begin with comments on regular polygons in the plane.
