Polyhedron

A polyhedron is the three-dimensional equivalent of a polygon, which is a shape that has only straight sides. Similarly, a polyhedron is a solid that has only s

In geometry, a Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron, each face of which is a regular polygon, but which is not uniform, i.e., not a Platonic solid, Archimedean solid, prism or antiprism. There is no requirement that each face must be the same polygon, or that the same polygons join around each vertex. An example of a Johnson solid is the square-based pyramid with equilateral sides (J1); it has 1 square face and 4 triangular faces.

Kepler’s Solid (also known as the Rhombic Triacontahedron) is a dual to the icosidodecahedron.

WolframAlpha Polyhedron - Rhombic Hexecontahedron: This is a fairly simple polyhedron model.Even a child (from 9 years old) can cope. The model will become a real decoration of the desktop, especially for fans of mathematics. You will need: 1.five sheets of standard size paper 2.scissors 3.glue…

The 12 Pentagon Polylink. Seems to me that this is a bit of a “type 2” to the Six Pentagon Polylink as they both have the regular dodecahedron as their parental polyhedron.

Consider any star of n line segments through one point in space such that no three lines are coplanar. Then there exists a polyhedron, known as a zonohedron, whose faces consist of n(n-1) rhombi and whose edges are parallel to the n given lines in sets of 2(n-1). Furthermore, for every pair of the n lines, there is a pair of opposite faces whose sides lie in those directions (Ball and Coxeter 1987, p. 141). A zonohedron is a therefore a polyhedron in which every face is centrally…
