Rhombicosidodecahedron
In geometry, the rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces. It has a total of 62 faces: 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, with 60 vertices, and 120 edges. Names Johannes Kepler in ''Harmonices Mundi'' (1618) named this polyhedron a ''rhombicosidodecahedron'', being short for ''truncated icosidodecahedral rhombus'', with ''icosidodecahedral rhombus'' being his name for a rhombic triacontahedron. There are different truncations of a rhombic triacontahedron into a topological rhombicosidodecahedron: Prominently its rectification (left), the one that creates the uniform solid (center), and the rectification of the dual icosidodecahedron (right), which is the core of the dual compound. Dimensions For a rhombicosidodecahedron with edge length ''a'', its surface area and volume are: :\begin A &= \left(30+5\sqrt+3\sqrt\right) ...

Antiparallelogram
In geometry, an antiparallelogram is a type of list of self-intersecting polygons, self-crossing quadrilateral. Like a parallelogram, an antiparallelogram has two opposite pairs of equal-length sides, but these pairs of sides are not in general parallel (geometry), parallel. Instead, each pair of sides is antiparallel lines, antiparallel with respect to the other, with sides in the longer pair crossing each other as in a scissors mechanism. Whereas a parallelogram's opposite angles are equal and oriented the same way, an antiparallelogram's are equal but oppositely oriented. Antiparallelograms are also called contraparallelograms or crossed parallelograms. Antiparallelograms occur as the vertex figures of certain nonconvex uniform polyhedron, nonconvex uniform polyhedra. In the theory of four-bar linkages, the linkages with the form of an antiparallelogram are also called butterfly linkages or bow-tie linkages, and are used in the design of non-circular gears.

Small Dodecacronic Hexecontahedron
In geometry, the small dodecicosidodecahedron (or small dodekicosidodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U33. It has 44 faces (20 triangles, 12 pentagons, and 12 decagons), 120 edges, and 60 vertices. Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral. Related polyhedra It shares its vertex arrangement with the small stellated truncated dodecahedron and the uniform compounds of 6 or 12 pentagrammic prisms.

Dual Polyhedron
In geometry, every polyhedron is associated with a second dual structure, where the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other, and the edges between pairs of vertices of one correspond to the edges between pairs of faces of the other. Such dual figures remain combinatorial or abstract polyhedra, but not all can also be constructed as geometric polyhedra. Starting with any given polyhedron, the dual of its dual is the original polyhedron. Duality preserves the symmetries of a polyhedron. Therefore, for many classes of polyhedra defined by their symmetries, the duals belong to a corresponding symmetry class. For example, the regular polyhedrathe (convex) Platonic solids and (star) Kepler–Poinsot polyhedraform dual pairs, where the regular tetrahedron is self-dual. The dual of an isogonal polyhedron (one in which any two vertices are equivalent under symmetries of the polyhedron) is an isohedral polyhedron (one in which any two faces are equivalent .., and vice ...

Polyhedron
In geometry, a polyhedron (: polyhedra or polyhedrons; ) is a three-dimensional figure with flat polygonal Face (geometry), faces, straight Edge (geometry), edges and sharp corners or Vertex (geometry), vertices. The term "polyhedron" may refer either to a solid figure or to its boundary surface (mathematics), surface. The terms solid polyhedron and polyhedral surface are commonly used to distinguish the two concepts. Also, the term ''polyhedron'' is often used to refer implicitly to the whole structure (mathematics), structure formed by a solid polyhedron, its polyhedral surface, its faces, its edges, and its vertices. There are many definitions of polyhedron. Nevertheless, the polyhedron is typically understood as a generalization of a two-dimensional polygon and a three-dimensional specialization of a polytope, a more general concept in any number of dimensions. Polyhedra have several general characteristics that include the number of faces, topological classification by Eule ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Isohedral Figure
In geometry, a tessellation of dimension (a plane tiling) or higher, or a polytope of dimension (a polyhedron) or higher, is isohedral or face-transitive if all its Face (geometry), faces are the same. More specifically, all faces must be not merely Congruence (geometry), congruent but must be ''transitive'', i.e. must lie within the same ''symmetry orbit''. In other words, for any two faces and , there must be a symmetry of the ''entire'' figure by Translation (geometry), translations, Rotation (mathematics), rotations, and/or Reflection (mathematics), reflections that maps onto . For this reason, Convex polytope, convex isohedral polyhedra are the shapes that will make fair dice. Isohedral polyhedra are called isohedra. They can be described by their face configuration. An isohedron has an Parity (mathematics), even number of faces. The Dual polyhedron, dual of an isohedral polyhedron is vertex-transitive, i.e. isogonal.

Small Rhombidodecacron
In geometry, the small rhombidodecacron is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the small rhombidodecahedron. It is visually identical to the Small dodecacronic hexecontahedron. It has 60 intersecting antiparallelogram faces. Proportions Each face has two angles of \arccos(\frac+\frac\sqrt)\approx 25.242\,832\,961\,52^ and two angles of \arccos(-\frac+\frac\sqrt)\approx 93.025\,844\,508\,96^. The diagonals of each antiparallelogram intersect at an angle of \arccos(\frac+\frac\sqrt)\approx 61.731\,322\,529\,52^. The ratio between the lengths of the long edges and the short ones equals \frac+\frac\sqrt, which is the golden ratio In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their summation, sum to the larger of the two quantities.

Compound Of Twelve Pentagrammic Prisms
This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 12 pentagrammic prisms, aligned in pairs with the axes of fivefold rotational symmetry of a dodecahedron. It results from composing the two enantiomorphs of the compound of six pentagrammic prisms. In doing so, the vertices of the two enantiomorphs coincide, with the result that the full compound has two pentagrammic prisms incident on each of its vertices. Related polyhedra This compound shares its vertex arrangement with four uniform polyhedra In geometry, a uniform polyhedron has regular polygons as faces and is vertex-transitive—there is an isometry mapping any vertex onto any other.
