Definition of Regular Polyhedron

A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron (solid figure with flat faces and straight edges) in which all of the faces are identical regular polygons.

For example, the picture shows a regular icosahedron (a polyhedron with 20 faces). The faces are all identical equilateral triangles.

The Platonic solids are the five convex regular polyhedra (polyhedra with no dents).
