Four numbering schemes for the uniform polyhedra are in common use, distinguished by letters: [C] Coxeter et al., 1954, showed the convex forms as figures 15 through 32; three prismatic forms, figures 33–35; and the nonconvex forms, figures 36–92.
Order-3 icosahedral honeycomb; Order-4 octahedral honeycomb; Triangular tiling honeycomb; Square tiling honeycomb; Order-4 square tiling honeycomb; Order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb; Order-6 cubic honeycomb; Order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb; Hexagonal tiling honeycomb; Order-4 hexagonal tiling honeycomb; Order-5 hexagonal tiling honeycomb; Order-6 ...

A 0° angle defect will fill the Euclidean plane with a regular tiling. By Descartes' theorem, the number of vertices is 720°/defect.
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
This polyhedron is topologically related as a part of a sequence of cantellated polyhedra with vertex figure (3.4.n.4), which continues as tilings of the hyperbolic plane. These vertex-transitive figures have (*n32) reflectional symmetry .
Geometric variations with irregular faces can also be constructed. Some irregular pentahedra with six vertices may be called wedges . An irregular pentahedron can be a non- convex solid: Consider a non-convex (planar) quadrilateral (such as a dart ) as the base of the solid, and any point not in the base plane as the apex .
The number of vertices, edges, and faces of GP(m,n) can be computed from m and n, with T = m 2 + mn + n 2 = (m + n) 2 − mn, depending on one of three symmetry systems: [1] The number of non-hexagonal faces can be determined using the Euler characteristic, as demonstrated here.
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. [16] 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.
