Poliedros de Platão e Arquimedes

Abstract

This work is focused on polyhedra, as well as the development of the first studies made by philosophers and mathematicians until the most modern times, in order to understand geometry and its relationship with nature and the universe. From the first indications made by the Greeks to Euclid, who masterfully organized all these studies on Geometry, as well as the demonstrations of polyhedra. The intention of this work is to understand the entire construction of polyhedra, planning and the elaboration of drawings to form the polyhedra, as well as the calculation of their areas and volumes. A point to be considered is that this topic is of great importance for Elementary and High School, as students can visualize and describe the world through geometric figures, as well as polyhedra.
