Solution

Answer

The statement is False.

Explanation

In geometry, a polyhedron is a three-dimensional shape that consists of flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. The edges of a polyhedron refer specifically to the line segments where two faces meet. Each edge is formed by the intersection of two polygons (faces) of the polyhedron. Thus, the edges do not represent the polygons themselves but rather are the lines that define the boundaries between the polygonal faces.

To clarify further:

  1. The polygons bound the space of the polyhedron.
  2. The edges are the line segments where these polygonal faces intersect.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. False.
