A polyhedron is a solid bounded entirely by

  • A.plane surfaces
  • B.curved surfaces of revolution
  • C.one plane and one curved surface
  • D.surfaces generated by a moving straight line

Answer: A

Correct answer: plane surfaces

A polyhedron is bounded entirely by flat faces - prisms, pyramids, cubes and the five regular solids. The moment a curved surface appears the solid belongs to another class: a cylinder and a cone are solids of revolution, and a sphere is bounded by a single curved surface. The distinction matters in drawing because plane faces project as straight-edged figures.
