In three-dimensional space, a Platonic solid is a regular, convex polyhedron consisting of congruent regular polygonal faces with the same number of faces meeting at every vertex. Five solids meet those criteria, and each is named after its number of faces. These include the tetrahedron, octahedron, hexahedron (cube), icosahedron, and dodecahedron. Geometers have studied the mathematical beauty and symmetry of the Platonic solids since ancient times. They are named for the ancient Greek philosopher Plato who theorized that the classical elements (earth, air, fire, and water) were made of these regular solids.
