In geometry, the truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 regular faces (6 octagonal and 8 triangular ), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. If the truncated cube has unit edge length, its dual triakis octahedron has edges of lengths 2 and δ S +1 , where δ S is the silver ratio, √ 2 +1.
In geometry, the truncated cuboctahedron or great rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid, named by Kepler as a truncation of a cuboctahedron. It has 12 square faces, 8 regular hexagonal faces, 6 regular octagonal faces, 48 vertices, and 72 edges.
Net In geometry , the rectified truncated cube is a polyhedron , constructed as a rectified , truncated cube . It has 38 faces: 8 equilateral triangles , 24 isosceles triangles , and 6 octagons .
Types of truncation on a square, {4}, showing red original edges, and new truncated edges in cyan. A uniform truncated square is a regular octagon, t{4}={8}. A complete truncated square becomes a new square, with a diagonal orientation. Vertices are sequenced around counterclockwise, 1-4, with truncated pairs of vertices as a and b.
An example is the rhombicuboctahedron, constructed by separating the cube or octahedron's faces from the centroid and filling them with squares. [8] Snub is a construction process of polyhedra by separating the polyhedron faces, twisting their faces in certain angles, and filling them up with equilateral triangles .
This process is known as rectification, making the cuboctahedron being named the rectified cube and rectified octahedron. [ 3 ] An alternative construction is by cutting of all of the vertices, known as truncation . can be started from a regular tetrahedron , cutting off the vertices and beveling the edges.
Its dual is the truncated cube. It can be seen as an octahedron with triangular pyramids added to each face; that is, it is the Kleetope of the octahedron. It is also sometimes called a trisoctahedron, or, more fully, trigonal trisoctahedron. Both names reflect that it has three triangular faces for every face of an octahedron.
Net In geometry , the biaugmented truncated cube is one of the Johnson solids ( J 67 ). As its name suggests, it is created by attaching two square cupolas ( J 4 ) onto two parallel octagonal faces of a truncated cube .
