Image Tile 4,4.svg thumb Square tiling four squaregeometrysquare faces per vertex Image hexahedron.png thumb Cube three squaregeometrysquare faces per vertex In geometry , a face of a polyhedron is any of the polygons that make up its boundaries. For example, any of the squaregeometrysquare s that bound a cube is a face of the cube. The suffix hedron is derived from the Greek word hedra which means face . Sometimes, in the case of a pyramid , the term face is understood to exclude the base. The two dimensional polygons that bound higher dimensional polytopes are also commonly called faces . Formally, however, a face is any of the lower dimensional boundaries of the polytope, more specifically called an n face . Formal definition In convex geometry , a face of a polytope P is the intersection of any supporting hyperplane of P and P . From this definition it follows that the set of faces of a polytope includes the polytope itself and the empty set. For example, a polyhedron R sup 3 sup is entirely on one hyperplane of R sup 4 b . If R sup 4 sup were spacetime, the hyperplane at nowrap t 0 supports and contains the entire polyhedron. Thus, by the formal definition, the polyhedron is a face of itself. All of the following are the n faces of a 4 polytope 4 dimensional polytope 4 face the 4 dimensional 4 polytope itself 3 face any 3 dimensional cell geometry cell 2 face any 2 dimensional polygonal face using the common definition of face 1 face any 1 dimensional edge geometry edge 0 face any 0 dimensional vertex geometry vertex the empty set. Facets If the polytope lies in n dimensions, a face in the n 1 dimension is called a Facet mathematics facet . For example, a cell of a polychoron is a facet, a face of a polyhedron is a facet, an edge of a polygon is a facet, etc. A face in the n 2 dimension is called a Ridge geometry ridge .

It can be realized as a projective polyhedron a tessallation of the real projective plane by 3 quadrilaterals , which can be visualized by constructing the projective plane as a hemisphere where opposite points along the boundary are connected and dividing the hemisphere into three equal parts. It has 3 square faces, 6 edges, and 4 vertices. It has an unexpected property that every face is in contact with every other face on two edges, and every face contains all the vertices, which gives an example of an abstract polytope whose faces are not determined by their vertex sets.

If geometry is regarded as the study of isometry group s then the centre is a fixed point of the isometries. Circles The centre of a circle is the point equidistant from the points on the edge. Similarly the centre of a sphere is the point equidistant from the points on the surface, and the centre of a line segment is the midpoint of the two ends. Symmetric objects For objects with several symmetries , the center of symmetry centre of symmetry is the point left unchanged by the symmetric actions. So the centre of a squaregeometrysquare , rectangle , rhombus or parallelogram is where the diagonals intersect, this being amongst other properties the fixed point of rotational symmetries. Similarly the centre of an ellipse is where the axes intersect.
