Expressed symmetrically as 4 points on the unit sphere, centroid at the origin, with lower face parallel to the plane, the vertices are: (,,), (,,), (,,), (,,) with the edge length of . A regular tetrahedron can be embedded inside a cube in two ways such that each vertex is a vertex of the cube, and each edge is a diagonal of one of the cube's ...
The surface area of a regular octahedron can be ascertained by summing all of its eight equilateral triangles, whereas its volume is twice the volume of a square pyramid; if the edge length is , [11] =, =. The radius of a circumscribed sphere (one that touches the octahedron at all vertices), the radius of an inscribed sphere (one that tangent ...

The tangential triangle of a reference triangle (other than a right triangle) is the triangle whose sides are on the tangent lines to the reference triangle's circumcircle at its vertices. [ 64 ] As mentioned above, every triangle has a unique circumcircle, a circle passing through all three vertices, whose center is the intersection of the ...
This definition rules out, for example, the square pyramid (since although all the faces are regular, the square base is not congruent to the triangular sides), or the shape formed by joining two tetrahedra together (since although all faces of that triangular bipyramid would be equilateral triangles, that is, congruent and regular, some ...
The rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid, meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex. [14] The polygonal faces that meet for every vertex are one equilateral triangle and three squares, and the vertex figure is denoted as .
The rigid struts and the flexible vertices of a cuboctahedron may also be transformed progressively into a regular icosahedron, regular octahedron, regular tetrahedron. Fuller named this the jitterbug transformation. [9] A cuboctahedron has the Rupert property, meaning there is a polyhedron of the same or larger size that can pass through its hole.
In geometry, a triakis tetrahedron (or tristetrahedron [1], or kistetrahedron [2]) is a solid constructed by attaching four triangular pyramids onto the triangular faces of a regular tetrahedron, a Kleetope of a tetrahedron. [3] This replaces the triangular faces with three, so there are twelve in total; eight vertices and eighteen edges form ...
