Lorenz Lindelöf found that, corresponding to any given tetrahedron is a point now known as an isogonic center, O, at which the solid angles subtended by the faces are equal, having a common value of π sr, and at which the angles subtended by opposite edges are equal. [28]

A Goldberg polyhedron is a dual polyhedron of a geodesic polyhedron. A consequence of Euler's polyhedron formula is that a Goldberg polyhedron always has exactly 12 pentagonal faces. Icosahedral symmetry ensures that the pentagons are always regular and that there are always 12 of them.
The dual notation for Goldberg polyhedra is {q+,3} b,c, with valence-3 vertices, with q-gonal and hexagonal faces. There are 3 symmetry classes of forms: {3+,3} 1,0 for a tetrahedron, {4+,3} 1,0 for a cube, and {5+,3} 1,0 for a dodecahedron. Values for b,c are divided into three classes:

A plane containing a cross-section of the solid may be referred to as a cutting plane. The shape of the cross-section of a solid may depend upon the orientation of the cutting plane to the solid. For instance, while all the cross-sections of a ball are disks, [2] the cross-sections of a cube depend on how the cutting plane is related to the ...
3D model of a rhombic dodecahedron. In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces.It has 24 edges, and 14 vertices of 2 types. As a Catalan solid, it is the dual polyhedron of the cuboctahedron.
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.
