7: 5{4} +2{5} Hexagonal prism: 4.4.6 ... The white polygon lines represent the "vertex figure" polygon. The colored faces are included on the vertex figure images ...
The regular octahedron is one of the Platonic solids, a set of polyhedrons whose faces are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meet at each vertex. [4] This ancient set of polyhedrons was named after Plato who, in his Timaeus dialogue, related these solids to nature.
Face, a 2-dimensional element; Cell, a 3-dimensional element; Hypercell or Teron, a 4-dimensional element; Facet, an (n-1)-dimensional element; Ridge, an (n-2)-dimensional element; Peak, an (n-3)-dimensional element; For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak.
In geometry, a polyhedron (pl.: polyhedra or polyhedrons; from Greek πολύ (poly-) 'many' and ἕδρον (-hedron) 'base, seat') is a three-dimensional figure with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices.
The solid angle of a face subtended from the center of a platonic solid is equal to the solid angle of a full sphere (4 π steradians) divided by the number of faces. This is equal to the angular deficiency of its dual. The various angles associated with the Platonic solids are tabulated below.
3D model of a uniform hexagonal prism. In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. Prisms are polyhedrons; this polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. [1] Since it has 8 faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has
A cuboctahedron is a polyhedron with 8 triangular faces and 6 square faces. A cuboctahedron has 12 identical vertices, with 2 triangles and 2 squares meeting at each, and 24 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a square.
A truncated square is an octagon, t{4}={8}. A quasitruncated square, inverted as {4/3}, is an octagram, t{4/3}={8/3}. [2] The uniform star polyhedron stellated truncated hexahedron, t'{4,3}=t{4/3,3} has octagram faces constructed from the cube in this way. It may be considered for this reason as a three-dimensional analogue of the octagram.
