Apeirogonal antiprism
An apeirogonal antiprism is a type of geometric figure that belongs to the family of antiprisms, which are polyhedra formed by two parallel bases connected by triangular faces. In the case of an apeirogonal antiprism, the bases are apeirogons, which are polygons with an infinite number of sides.
Apeirogonal prism
An apeirogonal prism is a type of geometric figure that extends the concept of a prism to an infinite number of sides. Specifically, an apeirogon is a polygon with an infinite number of sides. Therefore, an apeirogonal prism consists of two parallel apeirogons (one serving as the base and the other as the top) connected by a series of vertical edges or faces.
Augmented dodecahedron
The augmented dodecahedron is a type of Archimedean solid that can be described as an augmentation of the regular dodecahedron. In geometry, augmentation refers to a process where faces of a polyhedron are modified by adding new faces.
Augmented hexagonal prism
An augmented hexagonal prism is a geometric figure that is based on the structure of a standard hexagonal prism but modified by adding additional features or shapes. ### Basic Structure: 1. **Hexagonal Prism**: The standard hexagonal prism consists of two hexagonal bases connected by six rectangular lateral faces. The height of the prism is defined as the distance between the two hexagonal bases.
Augmented pentagonal prism
An augmented pentagonal prism is a type of polyhedron that is created by taking a standard pentagonal prism and adding a pyramid (or cone) on one or both of its hexagonal faces. Here are some details about the augmented pentagonal prism: - **Base Shapes**: The base of the prism consists of two pentagons, which are parallel to each other, and the sides are made up of five rectangular faces.
Augmented sphenocorona
An "augmented sphenocorona" is a type of geometric figure that belongs to the category of polyhedra. Specifically, it is a variant of the sphenocorona—one of the Archimedean solids. The term "augmented" indicates that some vertices or faces have been altered or added to the original sphenocorona to create a new shape. A sphenocorona itself is characterized by having a combination of triangular and quadrilateral faces.
Augmented triangular prism
An augmented triangular prism is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is created by adding a pyramid-like structure (often referred to as an "augmentation") to one of the triangular faces of a triangular prism. A triangular prism itself consists of two parallel triangular bases connected by three rectangular lateral faces. When you augment one of the triangular bases, you typically create a new face that extends out from the base, adding volume and complexity to the shape.
An augmented tridiminished icosahedron is a type of polyhedron that is derived from the tridiminished icosahedron through a process called augmentation. To understand this concept, it's helpful to break down the terms involved: 1. **Icosahedron**: A regular polyhedron with 20 equilateral triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices.
Augmented truncated cube
The Augmented Truncated Cube is a convex polyhedron that is categorized as an Archimedean solid. It is formed by augmenting the truncated cube, which itself is derived from truncating the corners of a cube, thereby creating additional polygonal faces. ### Description: - The Augmented Truncated Cube can be visualized as follows: - Start with a cube. - Truncate (cut off) its vertices, resulting in a truncated cube that has additional triangular faces.
The augmented truncated dodecahedron is a type of Archimedean solid. It can be described as an extension of the truncated dodecahedron by adding a pyramid (or a cone) to each of its faces. Here are some key characteristics of the augmented truncated dodecahedron: 1. **Vertices**: It has 60 vertices. 2. **Edges**: There are 120 edges.
Augmented truncated tetrahedron
An augmented truncated tetrahedron is a type of polyhedron formed by augmenting a truncated tetrahedron. ### Truncated Tetrahedron First, let's understand the truncated tetrahedron. It is one of the Archimedean solids and can be obtained by slicing the vertices of a regular tetrahedron. The result has: - 4 triangular faces, - 4 hexagonal faces, - 12 edges, and - 8 vertices.
Biaugmented pentagonal prism
A biaugmented pentagonal prism is a type of polyhedron that can be categorized as a member of the family of augmented prisms. It is constructed from a standard pentagonal prism by adding two additional pentagonal pyramids (the "augmentation") at both of its pentagonal bases. ### Characteristics of a Biaugmented Pentagonal Prism: 1. **Faces**: The biaugmented pentagonal prism has a total of 12 faces.
Biaugmented triangular prism
A biaugmented triangular prism is a type of geometrical solid that is classified as a polyhedron. It is a modification of the triangular prism, which itself consists of two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces. In a biaugmented triangular prism, two additional triangular faces (the augmentations) are added to the two triangular bases of the prism.
Biaugmented truncated cube
The biaugmented truncated cube is a type of Archimedean solid, which is a class of convex polyhedra with regular polygons as their faces and identical vertices. The biaugmented truncated cube can be derived from the truncated cube by augmenting it with additional pyramidal structures (or "augments") at two opposing square faces. Here are some details about the biaugmented truncated cube: - **Vertices**: The solid has 24 vertices.
Bifrustum
A bifrustum is a geometric shape that can be considered as a variant of a frustum. Specifically, it is formed by taking two frustums of identical cross-sectional shapes and placing them back to back. Each half of a bifrustum resembles a frustum, which is the portion of a solid (typically a cone or pyramid) that lies between two parallel planes.
The bigyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron is a complex geometric figure that belongs to the category of Archimedean solids. It is constructed through the process of truncating or diminishing the faces of the rhombicosidodecahedron, one of the five Platonic solids.
Cantellation (geometry)
Cantellation is a geometric operation that involves the modification of a polyhedron or polytope by truncating its vertices. When you cantell a polyhedron, you effectively "cut off" its vertices, creating new faces that replace the original vertices with additional edges, typically forming a structure that combines aspects of the original shape and its modified version. The result of cantellation can create more complex shapes with additional faces while preserving some of the properties of the original polyhedron.
Compound of cube and octahedron
The compound of a cube and an octahedron typically refers to a geometric configuration where both shapes are interlinked in a specific way. A well-known example of such a compound is the "cuboctahedron." However, the term can also describe the arrangement known as the "cube-octahedron compound," which features both the cube and octahedron sharing the same center, with their vertices and faces interleaved.
A compound of eight octahedra with rotational freedom refers to a geometric arrangement where eight octahedral shapes are combined in a way that allows for rotational movement around their connecting points or edges. In geometry, an octahedron is a polyhedron with eight triangular faces, 12 edges, and 6 vertices. When creating a compound of octahedra, they can be arranged to share vertices, edges, or face connections, resulting in a complex three-dimensional structure.
A compound of eight triangular prisms refers to a three-dimensional geometric figure formed by combining eight individual triangular prisms in a specific arrangement. Triangular prisms have two triangular bases and three rectangular faces connecting the bases. When creating a compound of these prisms, they can be arranged in various configurations, such as adjacent to each other, stacked, or rotated in different orientations. The exact appearance and properties of the compound will depend on how the prisms are arranged.
