Some mathematical terms:

• A polytope is a generalization of a polygon with flat sides/faces

• A polyhedron is a polytope in 3D

• A polygon is a polytope in 2D

• A regular polygon has all edges of equal length and all interior angles of equal

• A regular polyhedron has congruent faces and "identical" vertices; the convex ones are called platonic solids

  • From here: "There are exactly five such solids (Steinhaus 1999, pp. 252-256): the cube, dodecahedron, icosahedron, octahedron, and tetrahedron, as was proved by Euclid in the last proposition of the Elements."  

• A net is a template that folds to a polyhedron

  • Here is an article about nets: Nets: A Tool for Representing Polyhedra in Two Dimensions
