===Polyhedra and polytopes=== {{main|Polyhedron|Polytope}} A '''polytope''' is a geometric object with flat sides, which exists in any general number of dimensions. A [[polygon]] is a polytope in two dimensions, a [[polyhedron]] in three dimensions, and so on in higher dimensions (such as a [[4-polytope]] in four dimensions). Some theories further generalize the idea to include such objects as unbounded polytopes ([[apeirotope]]s and [[tessellation]]s), and [[abstract polytope]]s. The following are some of the aspects of polytopes studied in discrete geometry: *[[Polyhedral combinatorics]] *[[Convex lattice polytope|Lattice polytopes]] *[[Ehrhart polynomial]]s *[[Pick's theorem]] *[[Hirsch conjecture]] *[[Opaque set]]
