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 ...
The faces are isosceles triangles with one obtuse and two acute angles. The obtuse angle equals arccos( 1 / 4 − √ 2 / 2 ) ≈ 117.200 570 380 16 ° and the acute ones equal arccos( 1 / 2 + √ 2 / 4 ) ≈ 31.399 714 809 92 °.
The Hasse diagram of the face lattice of an n-simplex is isomorphic to the graph of the (n + 1)-hypercube's edges, with the hypercube's vertices mapping to each of the n-simplex's elements, including the entire simplex and the null polytope as the extreme points of the lattice (mapped to two opposite vertices on the hypercube). This fact may be ...
The smallest polyhedron is the tetrahedron with 4 triangular faces, 6 edges, and 4 vertices. Named polyhedra primarily come from the families of platonic solids , Archimedean solids , Catalan solids , and Johnson solids , as well as dihedral symmetry families including the pyramids , bipyramids , prisms , antiprisms , and trapezohedrons .
Two clusters of faces of the bilunabirotunda, the lunes (each lune featuring two triangles adjacent to opposite sides of one square), can be aligned with a congruent patch of faces on the rhombicosidodecahedron. If two bilunabirotundae are aligned this way on opposite sides of the rhombicosidodecahedron, then a cube can be put between the ...
The surface area of a regular octahedron can be ascertained by summing all of its eight equilateral triangles, whereas its volume is twice the volume of a square pyramid; if the edge length is , [11] =, =. The radius of a circumscribed sphere (one that touches the octahedron at all vertices), the radius of an inscribed sphere (one that tangent ...
The 5 Platonic solids are called a tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron with 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 sides respectively. The regular hexahedron is a cube . Table of polyhedra
