If a polyhedron is not regular, the edge midpoints surrounding a vertex may not be coplanar. However, a form of rectification is still possible in this case: every polyhedron has a polyhedral graph as its 1-skeleton, and from that graph one may form the medial graph by placing a vertex at each edge midpoint of the original graph, and connecting two of these new vertices by an edge whenever ...
In geometry, the rectified truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron. It has 92 faces: 60 isosceles triangles , 12 regular pentagons , and 20 regular hexagons . It is constructed as a rectified , truncated icosahedron , rectification truncating vertices down to mid-edges.
This process is known as rectification, making the cuboctahedron being named the rectified cube and rectified octahedron. [3] An alternative construction is by cutting of all of the vertices, known as truncation. can be started from a regular tetrahedron, cutting off the vertices and beveling the edges.
In geometry, the rectified truncated octahedron is a convex polyhedron, constructed as a rectified, truncated octahedron. It has 38 faces: 24 isosceles triangles , 6 squares , and 8 hexagons .

(dual polyhedron) Net In geometry , the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid , one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces .
In geometry, a snub polyhedron is a polyhedron obtained by performing a snub operation: alternating a corresponding omnitruncated or truncated polyhedron, depending on the definition. Some, but not all, authors include antiprisms as snub polyhedra, as they are obtained by this construction from a degenerate "polyhedron" with only two faces (a ...
The most obvious family of prismatic 4-polytopes is the polyhedral prisms, i.e. products of a polyhedron with a line segment. The cells of such a 4-polytopes are two identical uniform polyhedra lying in parallel hyperplanes (the base cells) and a layer of prisms joining them (the lateral cells).
