They are the cuboctahedron, truncated octahedron, truncated cube, rhombicuboctahedron, icosidodecahedron, truncated cuboctahedron, truncated icosahedron, truncated dodecahedron, and the truncated tetrahedron. [10] The dual polyhedron of an Archimedean solid is a Catalan solid. [1]
Given the edge length .The surface area of a truncated tetrahedron is the sum of 4 regular hexagons and 4 equilateral triangles' area, and its volume is: [2] =, =.. The dihedral angle of a truncated tetrahedron between triangle-to-hexagon is approximately 109.47°, and that between adjacent hexagonal faces is approximately 70.53°.
Types of truncation on a square, {4}, showing red original edges, and new truncated edges in cyan. A uniform truncated square is a regular octagon, t{4}={8}. A complete truncated square becomes a new square, with a diagonal orientation. Vertices are sequenced around counterclockwise, 1-4, with truncated pairs of vertices as a and b.
The tetrahedron is yet related to another two solids: By truncation the tetrahedron becomes a truncated tetrahedron. The dual of this solid is the triakis tetrahedron, a regular tetrahedron with four triangular pyramids attached to each of its faces. i.e., its kleetope.
The cantic cubic honeycomb, cantic cubic cellulation or truncated half cubic honeycomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of truncated octahedra, cuboctahedra and truncated tetrahedra in a ratio of 1:1:2. Its vertex figure is a rectangular pyramid.
In geometry, the rectified truncated tetrahedron is a polyhedron, constructed as a rectified, truncated tetrahedron. It has 20 faces: 4 equilateral triangles , 12 isosceles triangles , and 4 regular hexagons .
It can be used to tessellate three-dimensional space, making the triakis truncated tetrahedral honeycomb. [1] [2] The triakis truncated tetrahedron is the shape of the Voronoi cell of the carbon atoms in diamond, which lie on the diamond cubic crystal structure. [3] [4] As the Voronoi cell of a symmetric space pattern, it is a plesiohedron. [5]
Its dual is the truncated octahedron, an Archimedean solid. It can be called a disdyakis hexahedron or hexakis tetrahedron as the dual of an omnitruncated tetrahedron , and as the barycentric subdivision of a tetrahedron.
