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
The number of vertices in the layers of this projection is 1 4 6 4 1—the fourth row in Pascal's triangle. The cell-first parallel projection of the tesseract into three-dimensional space has a cubical envelope. The nearest and farthest cells are projected onto the cube, and the remaining six cells are projected onto the six square faces of ...
In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space.Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are congruent (identical in shape and size) regular polygons (all angles congruent and all edges congruent), and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.
There are many relations among the uniform polyhedra. [1] [2] [3] Some are obtained by truncating the vertices of the regular or quasi-regular polyhedron.Others share the same vertices and edges as other polyhedron.

[5] The regular heptagon belongs to the D 7h point group (Schoenflies notation), order 28. The symmetry elements are: a 7-fold proper rotation axis C 7, a 7-fold improper rotation axis, S 7, 7 vertical mirror planes, σ v, 7 2-fold rotation axes, C 2, in the plane of the heptagon and a horizontal mirror plane, σ h, also in the heptagon's plane ...
All vertices are valence-6 except the 12 centered at the original vertices which are valence 5 A geodesic polyhedron is a convex polyhedron made from triangles . They usually have icosahedral symmetry , such that they have 6 triangles at a vertex , except 12 vertices which have 5 triangles.
The dihedral angle of a triangular cupola between square-to-triangle is approximately 125°, that between square-to-hexagon is 54.7°, and that between triangle-to-hexagon is 70.5°. Therefore, the dihedral angle of a cuboctahedron between square-to-triangle, on the edge where the base of two triangular cupolas are attached is 54.7° + 70.5 ...
