The elongated triangular bipyramid is constructed from a triangular prism by attaching two tetrahedrons onto its bases, a process known as the elongation. [1] These tetrahedrons cover the triangular faces so that the resulting polyhedron has nine faces (six of them are equilateral triangles and three of them are squares), fifteen edges, and eight vertices. [2]
A truncated triangular prism is a triangular prism constructed by truncating its part at an oblique angle. As a result, the two bases are not parallel and every height has a different edge length. If the edges connecting bases are perpendicular to one of its bases, the prism is called a truncated right triangular prism.
The dual polyhedron of the triaugmented triangular prism has a face for each vertex of the triaugmented triangular prism, and a vertex for each face. It is an enneahedron (that is, a nine-sided polyhedron) [ 16 ] that can be realized with three non-adjacent square faces, and six more faces that are congruent irregular pentagons . [ 17 ]
An augmented triangular prism with edge length has a surface area, calculated by adding six equilateral triangles and two squares' area: [2] +. Its volume can be obtained by slicing it into a regular triangular prism and an equilateral square pyramid, and adding their volume subsequently: [2] +.
In particular, h = 0 at the limits n/d = 6 and n/d = 6/5, and h is maximized at n/d = 2 (in the digonal cupola: the triangular prism, where the triangles are upright). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In the images above, the star cupolae have been given a consistent colour scheme to aid identifying their faces: the base { n / d } -gon is red, the base {2 n / d ...
In chemistry, the tricapped trigonal prismatic molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where nine atoms, groups of atoms, or ligands are arranged around a central atom, defining the vertices of a triaugmented triangular prism (a trigonal prism with an extra atom attached to each of its three rectangular faces). [1]
The square pyramid can be seen as a triangular prism where one of its side edges (joining two squares) is collapsed into a point, losing one edge and one vertex, and changing two squares into triangles. Geometric variations with irregular faces can also be constructed. Some irregular pentahedra with six vertices may be called wedges.
The elongated triangular cupola is constructed from a hexagonal prism by attaching a triangular cupola onto one of its bases, a process known as the elongation. [1] This cupola covers the hexagonal face so that the resulting polyhedron has four equilateral triangles, nine squares, and one regular hexagon. [2]
