Two clusters of faces of the bilunabirotunda, the lunes (each lune featuring two triangles adjacent to opposite sides of one square), can be aligned with a congruent patch of faces on the rhombicosidodecahedron. If two bilunabirotundae are aligned this way on opposite sides of the rhombicosidodecahedron, then a cube can be put between the ...
In solid geometry, a face is a flat surface (a planar region) that forms part of the boundary of a solid object; [1] a three-dimensional solid bounded exclusively by faces is a polyhedron. A face can be finite like a polygon or circle, or infinite like a half-plane or plane.
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. Vertex figure : not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.
Let φ be the golden ratio.The 12 points given by (0, ±1, ±φ) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates are the vertices of a regular icosahedron.Its dual regular dodecahedron, whose edges intersect those of the icosahedron at right angles, has as vertices the 8 points (±1, ±1, ±1) together with the 12 points (0, ±φ, ± 1 / φ ) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates.
A space-filling tridecahedron [6] [7] is a tridecahedron that can completely fill three-dimensional space without leaving gaps. It has 13 faces, 30 edges, and 19 vertices. Among the thirteen faces, there are six trapezoids, six pentagons and one regular hexagon. [8] Dual polyhedron. The polyhedron's dual polyhedron is an enneadecahedron. It is ...
In geometry, polyhedra are three-dimensional objects where points are connected by lines to form polygons. The points, lines, and polygons of a polyhedron are referred to as its vertices, edges, and faces, respectively. [1] A polyhedron is considered to be convex if: [2]
In three-dimensional geometry, a facet of a polyhedron is any polygon whose corners are vertices of the polyhedron, and is not a face. [1] [2] To facet a polyhedron is to find and join such facets to form the faces of a new polyhedron; this is the reciprocal process to stellation and may also be applied to higher-dimensional polytopes.

More complex polygons can be created out of multiple triangles, or as a single object with more than 3 vertices. Four sided polygons (generally referred to as quads) [1] [2] and triangles are the most common shapes used in polygonal modeling. A group of polygons, connected to each other by shared vertices, is generally referred to as an element.
