This shape is also called Siamese dodecahedron, triangular dodecahedron, trigonal dodecahedron, or dodecadeltahedron. The snub disphenoid can be visualized as an atom cluster surrounding a central atom, that is the dodecahedral molecular geometry .
In geometry, the snub cube, or snub cuboctahedron, is an Archimedean solid with 38 faces: 6 squares and 32 equilateral triangles. It has 60 edges and 24 vertices . Kepler first named it in Latin as cubus simus in 1619 in his Harmonices Mundi . [ 1 ]
Two chiral copies of the snub cube, as alternated (red or green) vertices of the truncated cuboctahedron. A snub cube can be constructed from a rhombicuboctahedron by rotating the 6 blue square faces until the 12 white square faces become pairs of equilateral triangle faces. In geometry, a snub is an operation applied to a polyhedron.
In geometry, the truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 regular faces (6 octagonal and 8 triangular ), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. If the truncated cube has unit edge length, its dual triakis octahedron has edges of lengths 2 and δ S +1 , where δ S is the silver ratio, √ 2 +1.
Alternatively, if you expand each of five cubes by moving the faces away from the origin the right amount and rotating each of the five 72° around so they are equidistant from each other, without changing the orientation or size of the faces, and patch the pentagonal and triangular holes in the result, you get a rhombicosidodecahedron ...
A regular dodecahedron or pentagonal dodecahedron [notes 1] is a dodecahedron composed of regular pentagonal faces, three meeting at each vertex. It is an example of Platonic solids, described as cosmic stellation by Plato in his dialogues, and it was used as part of Solar System proposed by Johannes Kepler. However, the regular dodecahedron ...
In geometry, a dodecahedron (from Ancient Greek δωδεκάεδρον (dōdekáedron); from δώδεκα (dṓdeka) 'twelve' and ἕδρα (hédra) 'base, seat, face') or duodecahedron [1] is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid.
(Omnitruncated cube) The truncated icosidodecahedron, with 30 squares, 20 hexagons and 12 decagons. (Omnitruncated dodecahedron) In addition, certain Catalan solids (duals of Archimedean solids) are again zonohedra: Kepler's rhombic dodecahedron is the dual of the cuboctahedron. The rhombic triacontahedron is the dual of the icosidodecahedron.
