66. Platonic Solids

67. Mensuration of Solid Figures
Platonic Solids Plus Sphere

68. Platonic Solids
 The term platonic solids refers to the
regular polyhedra. In geometry, a
polyhedron (the word is a Greek
neologism meaning many seats) is a
solid bounded by plane surfaces, which
are called the faces; the intersection
of three or more edges is called a
vertex.
 What distinguishes regular polyhedra
from all others is the fact that all of
their faces are congruent with one
another.

69. History
 Pythagoras, in 5th
BCE, knew of the
tetrahedron, hexahedron or cube, and
dodecahedron. He learned these solids from
Egyptian Sacred Geometry.
 Plato in his ‘Theaetetus’ dialogue, a
discussion around the question ”What is
knowledge?” that dates to about 369 BCE, added
the octahedron and the icosahedron.
Collectively, these 5 solids became known as
the Platonic Solids, after this ancient Greek
philosopher.

70. History
 Plato speculated that these 5 solids were the
shapes of the fundamental components of the
physical universe, what he called the “Theory
of Everything”.
 In this theory, the world was composed of
entirely of 4 elements: fire, air, water and
earth and each of the elements were made up
of tiny fundamental particles. This was the
precursor to the atomic theory. The shapes
or particles that he chose for the elements
were the Platonic Solids and the intuitive
justification for these associations were:

71. History
1. The tetrahedron was the shape of fire, because fire
is sharp and stabbing
2. The octahedron was like air, its miniscule
components being so smooth that one could barely
feel them.
3. Water was made up of icosahedra, which are the most
smooth and round of the Platonic Solids that flows
out of one’s hands when picked up as if made of
tiny balls.
4. Earth consisted of hexahedron, which are solid and
sturdy and highly un-spherical.
5. The dodecahedron left unmatched to one of the four
elements, had 12 faces that Plato decided
corresponded with the 12 constellations of the
Zodiac and was the symbol of ether or universe or
spirit, writing “God used this solid for the whole
universe, embroidering figures on it”.

• 4 faces
(triangle)
• 4 vertices
• 6 edges

87. Sphere
A sphere is a solid described y the
revolution of a semi circle about a
fixed diameter.

88. Sphere
Properties of a sphere:
A sphere has a center.
All the points on the surface of the sphere
are equidistant from the center.
The distance between the center and any
point on the surface of the sphere is the
radius of the sphere.

89. Sphere

r = Radius
S = Surface Area
V = Volume
