Name of the polygon in $3$-dimension are:
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~$tetrahedron, Hexahedron, octahedron, Dodecahedron, Icosahedron, polyhedron etc.

The prefix "hyper-" is usually used to refer to the four- (and higher-) dimensional analogs of three-dimensional objects, e.g., hypercube, hyperplane, hypersphere. n-dimensional polyhedra are called polytopes.

The four-dimensional cases of general $n$-dimensional objects are often given special names, such as
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~$glome, tesseract, pentatope, polychoron, hyperplane, 16-cell, facet, content etc.

General $n$-dimensional objects:
$~~~~~~~~~~~~~$hypersphere, hypercube, simplex, polytope, hyperplane, cross polytope, facet, content etc.
