A sphere is a polyhedron. State whether the statement is true or false.

Solution:

Given, A sphere is a polyhedron.

We have to determine if the given statement is true or false.

A sphere is a three-dimensional object that is round in shape.

The sphere is defined in three axes, i.e., x-axis, y-axis and z-axis.

A solid is a polyhedron if it is made up of only polygonal faces, the faces meet at edges which are line segments and the edges meet at a point called vertex.

A sphere has no faces, edges or vertices.

Therefore, a sphere is not a polyhedron.
