A regular octahedron is an octahedron that is a regular polyhedron. All the faces of a regular octahedron are equilateral triangles of the same size, and exactly four triangles meet at each vertex. A regular octahedron is convex, meaning that for any two points within it, the line segment connecting them lies entirely within it.
A net of a regular dodecahedron The eleven nets of a cube. In geometry, a net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of non-overlapping edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded (along edges) to become the faces of the polyhedron.
Common net for both a octahedron and a Tritetrahedron.. In geometry, a common net is a net that can be folded onto several polyhedra.To be a valid common net, there shouldn't exist any non-overlapping sides and the resulting polyhedra must be connected through faces.
A regular octahedron has 24 rotational (or orientation-preserving) symmetries, and 48 symmetries altogether. These include transformations that combine a reflection and a rotation. A cube has the same set of symmetries, since it is the polyhedron that is dual to an octahedron.
The Dalí cross, a net of a tesseract The tesseract can be unfolded into eight cubes into 3D space, just as the cube can be unfolded into six squares into 2D space.. In geometry, a tesseract or 4-cube is a four-dimensional hypercube, analogous to a two-dimensional square and a three-dimensional cube. [1]
Net. In four-dimensional geometry, the 24-cell is the convex regular 4-polytope [1] (four-dimensional analogue of a Platonic solid) with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It is also called C 24, or the icositetrachoron, [2] octaplex (short for "octahedral complex"), icosatetrahedroid, [3] octacube, hyper-diamond or polyoctahedron, being constructed of octahedral cells.
The octahedron is dual to the cube. For every convex polyhedron, there exists a dual polyhedron having faces in place of the original's vertices and vice versa, and; the same number of edges. The dual of a convex polyhedron can be obtained by the process of polar reciprocation. [21]
The snub disphenoid can be constructed in different ways. As suggested by the name, the snub disphenoid is constructed from a tetragonal disphenoid by cutting all the edges from its faces, and adding equilateral triangles (the light blue colors in the following image) that are twisted in a certain angle between them.
