A regular skew hexagon seen as edges (black) of a triangular antiprism, symmetry D 3d, [2 +,6], (2*3), order 12. A skew hexagon is a skew polygon with six vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such a hexagon is not generally defined. A skew zig-zag hexagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes.

In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain. These segments are called its edges or sides , and the points where two of the edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners .
The capsids of some viruses have the shape of geodesic polyhedra, [1] [2] and some pollen grains are based on geodesic polyhedra. [3] Fullerene molecules have the shape of Goldberg polyhedra . Geodesic polyhedra are available as geometric primitives in the Blender 3D modeling software package , which calls them icospheres : they are an ...
In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. Prisms are polyhedrons; this polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. [1] Since it has 8 faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has eight triangular faces.
A hexagonal pyramid has seven vertices, twelve edges, and seven faces. One of its faces is hexagon, a base of the pyramid; six others are triangles. Six of the edges make up the pentagon by connecting its six vertices, and the other six edges are known as the lateral edges of the pyramid, meeting at the seventh vertex called the apex.
They are defined by three properties: each face is either a pentagon or hexagon, exactly three faces meet at each vertex, and they have rotational icosahedral symmetry. They are not necessarily mirror-symmetric; e.g. GP(5,3) and GP(3,5) are enantiomorphs of each other. A Goldberg polyhedron is a dual polyhedron of a geodesic polyhedron.
A hexahedron (pl.: hexahedra or hexahedrons) or sexahedron (pl.: sexahedra or sexahedrons) is any polyhedron with six faces.A cube, for example, is a regular hexahedron with all its faces square, and three squares around each vertex.
