Not all pyramids are classified as Platonic solids. Platonic solids are specific three-dimensional shapes that are convex, have identical faces made of regular polygons, and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. The five Platonic solids are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. While some pyramids, like a square pyramid, can have regular polygonal bases, they do not meet the criteria to be considered Platonic solids due to their varying face shapes and arrangements.

Who descoverd the platonic solids?

We don't know for certain who discovered the platonic solids first. However, Pythagoras is credited by some sources as discovering the platonic solids first. Other sources credit Theaetetus as being the first to describe all five platonic solids and proving that these are the *only* platonic solids.

Why dont the Platonic solid look alike?

Platonic solids are convex regular polyhedra. The faces of a platonic sold are all congruent polygons and they are all regular.The number of sides that meet at a vertex is the same for all vertices. When the sides are triangles, the platonic sold is a tetrahedron. This will NOT look the same as a cube where the sides are squares. So how the Platonic solid looks depends on the shape of its sides and very one of the five of them has different shaped sides.
