In
geometry, a face of a
polyhedron is any of the
polygons that make up its boundaries. For example, any of the
squares that bound a
cube is a face of the cube. The suffix -hedron is derived from the Greek word hedra which means face.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.
