It follows that all vertices are congruent, and the polyhedron has a high degree of reflectional and rotational symmetry. ... 5 / 2 .4.5: I h: C48: W076: U38 ...
The Platonic solids have been known since antiquity. It has been suggested that certain carved stone balls created by the late Neolithic people of Scotland represent these shapes; however, these balls have rounded knobs rather than being polyhedral, the numbers of knobs frequently differed from the numbers of vertices of the Platonic solids, there is no ball whose knobs match the 20 vertices ...
There are 34 topologically distinct convex heptahedra, excluding mirror images. [2] ( 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.)

[4] [5] The Goldberg–Coxeter construction is an expansion of the concepts underlying geodesic polyhedra. 3 constructions for a {3,5+} 6,0 An icosahedron and related symmetry polyhedra can be used to define a high geodesic polyhedron by dividing triangular faces into smaller triangles, and projecting all the new vertices onto a sphere.
[5] The regular heptagon belongs to the D 7h point group (Schoenflies notation), order 28. The symmetry elements are: a 7-fold proper rotation axis C 7, a 7-fold improper rotation axis, S 7, 7 vertical mirror planes, σ v, 7 2-fold rotation axes, C 2, in the plane of the heptagon and a horizontal mirror plane, σ h, also in the heptagon's plane ...
The elements of the set correspond to the vertices, edges, faces and so on of the polytope: vertices have rank 0, edges rank 1, etc. with the partially ordered ranking corresponding to the dimensionality of the geometric elements. The empty set, required by set theory, has a rank of −1 and is sometimes said to correspond to the null polytope.
A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).
