The cT is the Goldberg polyhedron GP III (2,0) or {3+,3} 2,0, containing triangular and hexagonal faces. The truncated tetrahedron looks similar; but its hexagons correspond to the 4 faces, not to the 6 edges, of the yellow tetrahedron, i.e. to the 4 vertices, not to the 6 edges, of the red tetrahedron.
The number of vertices, edges, and faces of GP(m,n) can be computed from m and n, with T = m 2 + mn + n 2 = (m + n) 2 − mn, depending on one of three symmetry systems: [1] The number of non-hexagonal faces can be determined using the Euler characteristic, as demonstrated here.
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.
The hexagonal tiling honeycomb, {6,3,3}, has hexagonal tiling, {6,3}, facets with vertices on a horosphere. One such facet is shown in as seen in this Poincaré disk model . In H 3 hyperbolic space , paracompact regular honeycombs have Euclidean tiling facets and vertex figures that act like finite polyhedra.
In the case of the coordinates of the six vertices where four faces meet at their acute angles, they are (±2, 0, 0), (0, ±2, 0) and (0, 0, ±2). The rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a degenerate limiting case of a pyritohedron , with permutation of coordinates (±1, ±1, ±1) and (0, 1 + h , 1 − h 2 ) with parameter h = 1.
For example a tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four faces, a pentahedron is a polyhedron with five faces, a hexahedron is a polyhedron with six faces, etc. [16] For a complete list of the Greek numeral prefixes see Numeral prefix § Table of number prefixes in English, in the column for Greek cardinal numbers
