The study of polyhedra develops spatial reasoning and imagination while providing the foundation for points in 3D space to a vertex-plan view drawing of 2D points. Precise geometric forms are powerful examples to show off one's mastery, as they require a clear understanding of the relationship between 3D objects and 2D projections.[George Hart: 2022]
