Expressed symmetrically as 4 points on the unit sphere, centroid at the origin, with lower face parallel to the plane, the vertices are: (,,), (,,), (,,), (,,) with the edge length of . A regular tetrahedron can be embedded inside a cube in two ways such that each vertex is a vertex of the cube, and each edge is a diagonal of one of the cube's ...

Truncated triangular trapezohedron, also called Dürer's solid: Obtained by truncating two opposite corners of a cube or rhombohedron, this has six pentagon faces and two triangle faces. [27] Octagonal hosohedron: degenerate in Euclidean space, but can be realized spherically. Bricard octahedron with an antiparallelogram as its equator. The ...
The tangential triangle of a reference triangle (other than a right triangle) is the triangle whose sides are on the tangent lines to the reference triangle's circumcircle at its vertices. [ 64 ] As mentioned above, every triangle has a unique circumcircle, a circle passing through all three vertices, whose center is the intersection of the ...
This definition rules out, for example, the square pyramid (since although all the faces are regular, the square base is not congruent to the triangular sides), or the shape formed by joining two tetrahedra together (since although all faces of that triangular bipyramid would be equilateral triangles, that is, congruent and regular, some ...
[3] [4] Other names for a polygonal face include polyhedron side and Euclidean plane tile. For example, any of the six squares that bound a cube is a face of the cube. Sometimes "face" is also used to refer to the 2-dimensional features of a 4-polytope. With this meaning, the 4-dimensional tesseract has 24 square faces, each sharing two of 8 ...
In geometry, a triakis tetrahedron (or tristetrahedron [1], or kistetrahedron [2]) is a solid constructed by attaching four triangular pyramids onto the triangular faces of a regular tetrahedron, a Kleetope of a tetrahedron. [3] This replaces the triangular faces with three, so there are twelve in total; eight vertices and eighteen edges form ...
The 0-faces (i.e., the defining points themselves as sets of size 1) are called the vertices (singular: vertex), the 1-faces are called the edges, the (n − 1)-faces are called the facets, and the sole n-face is the whole n-simplex itself.
