This is left blank for non-orientable polyhedra and hemipolyhedra (polyhedra with faces passing through their centers), for which the density is not well-defined. Note on Vertex figure images: The white polygon lines represent the "vertex figure" polygon. The colored faces are included on the vertex figure images help see their relations.
The following list of polygons, polyhedra and polytopes gives the names of various classes of polytopes and lists some specific examples. ... (n−5)-face of the 5 ...
Column A lists all the regular polyhedra, column B list their truncated forms. Regular polyhedra all have vertex figures p r: p.p.p etc. and Wythoff symbol p|q r. The truncated forms have vertex figure q.q.r (where q=2p and r) and Wythoff p q|r.
A regular polyhedron is identified by its Schläfli symbol of the form {n, m}, where n is the number of sides of each face and m the number of faces meeting at each vertex. There are 5 finite convex regular polyhedra (the Platonic solids), and four regular star polyhedra (the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra), making nine regular polyhedra in all. In ...
For example a tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four faces, a pentahedron is a polyhedron with five faces, a hexahedron is a polyhedron with six faces, etc. [29] For a complete list of the Greek numeral prefixes see Numeral prefix § Table of number prefixes in English, in the column for Greek cardinal numbers.
A 5-polytope is a closed five-dimensional figure with vertices, edges, faces, and cells, and 4-faces. A vertex is a point where five or more edges meet. An edge is a line segment where four or more faces meet, and a face is a polygon where three or more cells meet. A cell is a polyhedron, and a 4-face is a 4-polytope. Furthermore, the following ...
The smallest polyhedron is the tetrahedron with 4 triangular faces, 6 edges, and 4 vertices. Named polyhedra primarily come from the families of platonic solids, Archimedean solids, Catalan solids, and Johnson solids, as well as dihedral symmetry families including the pyramids, bipyramids, prisms, antiprisms, and trapezohedrons.
The regular tetrahedron is the simplest convex deltahedron, a polyhedron in which all of its faces are equilateral triangles; there are seven other convex deltahedra. [3] The regular tetrahedron is also one of the five regular Platonic solids, a set of polyhedrons in which all of their faces are regular polygons. [4]
