Please help me on this problem. I think it's C. @IMStuck @satellite73 @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (imstuck):

ok what's the problem dearest girl?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@IMStuck Bonjour dear! *It's above :)

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Got it! What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Its faces are all the same exact size triangles. Its base is a square, but the base is not a face.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

It is regular, let me just throw that out there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( I thought it was C.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

And a straight line drawn from the tippy top to the base will meet in perfect right angles. What do you think it is now?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

no it's definitely regular. So A or B. Which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

While that is a true fact, it is not one used to classify polyhedrons as regular or nonregular. The faces are used for that purpose. So it's B.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Regular Polyhedron more ... Regular Polyhedron A polyhedron whose faces are identical regular polygons. There are five convex regular polyhedra, known as the Platonic Solids. There are also four regular "star polyhedra", known as Kepler-Poinsot solids. This is a regular polyhedron (an Octahedron).

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Look at the first fact about regular polyhedrons.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

The faces are identical regular polygons. Hence the name "regular polyhedron". A solid made up of regular polygons.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Ignore the rest of that jibberish. Just look at the first fact.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

If the shape would have pasted along with the explanation, it would all make sense. But it didn't copy, so I'm sure it's nonsense.
