Since there are four such triangles, there are four such constraints on sums of angles, and the number of degrees of freedom is thereby reduced from 12 to 8. The four relations given by this sine law further reduce the number of degrees of freedom, from 8 down to not 4 but 5, since the fourth constraint is not independent of the first three.

Two clusters of faces of the bilunabirotunda, the lunes (each lune featuring two triangles adjacent to opposite sides of one square), can be aligned with a congruent patch of faces on the rhombicosidodecahedron. If two bilunabirotundae are aligned this way on opposite sides of the rhombicosidodecahedron, then a cube can be put between the ...
Vertex the (n−5)-face of the 5-polytope; Edge the (n−4)-face of the 5-polytope; Face the peak or (n−3)-face of the 5-polytope; Cell the ridge or (n−2)-face of the 5-polytope; Hypercell or Teron the facet or (n−1)-face of the 5-polytope
Truncated triangular trapezohedron, also called Dürer's solid: Obtained by truncating two opposite corners of a cube or rhombohedron, this has six pentagon faces and two triangle faces. [27] Octagonal hosohedron: degenerate in Euclidean space, but can be realized spherically. Bricard octahedron with an antiparallelogram as its equator. The ...
The triangle is the 2-simplex, a simple shape that requires two dimensions. Consider a triangle ABC , a shape in a 2-dimensional space (the plane in which the triangle resides). One can place a new point D somewhere off the plane.
Coxeter, Longuet-Higgins & Miller (1954) define uniform polyhedra to be vertex-transitive polyhedra with regular faces. They define a polyhedron to be a finite set of polygons such that each side of a polygon is a side of just one other polygon, such that no non-empty proper subset of the polygons has the same property.
There are 1,496,225,352 topologically distinct convex tetradecahedra, excluding mirror images, having at least 9 vertices. [8] ( Two polyhedra are "topologically distinct" if they have intrinsically different arrangements of faces and vertices, such that it is impossible to distort one into the other simply by changing the lengths of edges or the angles between edges or faces.)
