Question from Westun, a student: Your answer says that a triangle has 0 faces but isn't |
Hi Westun,
I assume you are referring to Stephen's response to the question "How many faces does a triangle have?" Stephen says that the term "face" applies to a 2-dimnsional or flat surface of a 3-dimensional or solid object. As such the term "face" does not apply to a triangle since a triangle is not a 3-dimensional object. Thus a triangle has no faces.
