1. polyhedron

   A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric solid figure that is bounded by flat faces or polygons. These faces are joined at their edges to form a closed surface. Polygons that bound the polyhedron are called its faces, the line segments where the faces intersect are called its edges, and the points where the edges intersect are called its vertices. Examples of polyhedra include prisms, pyramids, cubes, and tetrahedrons.
