Assignment 4: "The 5 Platonic Solids":
|
| For this
assignment, I would like you to accurately explain the five different
Platonic Solids. Using a word processing program, I would like you
to write a paragraph on each Platonic Solid, explaining the different
features. Be sure to explain the shape of the face, the number
of edges, and the number of vertices. At the end I would
like a sixth paragraph describing two facts that you discovered from the
links that was not presented to you in any of the preceding assignments .
