Platonic Solids

Regular Polyhedron

Platonic solid, any of the five geometric solids whose faces are all identical, regular polygons meeting at the same three-dimensional angles. Also known as the five regular polyhedra, they consist of the tetrahedron (or pyramid), hexahedron (or cube), octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
