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).
