A truncated triangular prism is a triangular prism constructed by truncating its part at an oblique angle. As a result, the two bases are not parallel and every height has a different edge length. If the edges connecting bases are perpendicular to one of its bases, the prism is called a truncated right triangular prism.
The dual polyhedron of the triaugmented triangular prism has a face for each vertex of the triaugmented triangular prism, and a vertex for each face. It is an enneahedron (that is, a nine-sided polyhedron) [ 16 ] that can be realized with three non-adjacent square faces, and six more faces that are congruent irregular pentagons . [ 17 ]
A twisted prism is a nonconvex polyhedron constructed from a uniform n-prism with each side face bisected on the square diagonal, by twisting the top, usually by π / n radians ( 180 / n degrees) in the same direction, causing sides to be concave. [8] [9] A twisted prism cannot be dissected into tetrahedra without adding new ...
A hexagonal antiprismatic prism or hexagonal antiduoprism is a convex uniform 4-polytope. It is formed as two parallel hexagonal antiprisms connected by cubes and triangular prisms. The symmetry of a hexagonal antiprismatic prism is [12,2 +,2], order 48. It has 24 triangle, 24 square and 4 hexagon faces. It has 60 edges, and 24 vertices.
Antiprisms are similar to prisms, except that the bases are twisted relatively to each other, and that the side faces (connecting the bases) are 2n triangles, rather than n quadrilaterals. The dual polyhedron of an n -gonal antiprism is an n -gonal trapezohedron .
A triangular bipyramid is the dual polyhedron of a triangular prism, and vice versa. [17] [3] A triangular prism has five faces, nine edges, and six vertices, with the same symmetry as a triangular bipyramid. [3]
The square pyramid can be seen as a triangular prism where one of its side edges (joining two squares) is collapsed into a point, losing one edge and one vertex, and changing two squares into triangles. Geometric variations with irregular faces can also be constructed. Some irregular pentahedra with six vertices may be called wedges.
The height h of an {n/d}-cupola or cupoloid is given by the formula: = (). In particular, h = 0 at the limits n / d = 6 and n / d = 6/5 , and h is maximized at n / d = 2 (in the digonal cupola : the triangular prism, where the triangles are upright).
