Platonic Solids

Updated: Nov 1, 2022

Platonic Solids or Shapes are 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, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. There are only 5 Platonic Solids.


According to Plato c. 360 B.C, each solid corresponds to a specific element. The tetrahedron corresponds to fire; the cube corresponds to earth; the octahedron corresponds to air; the dodecahedron corresponds to ether and the icosahedron corresponds to water.
