Semi-Regular Polyhedron

Polyhedron in which all the faces are regular polygons, but not all are congruent.
There are 13 semi-regular polyhedra.

Example

  • This is a truncated tetrahedron with a vertex arrangement of (3, 6, 6]. This code indicates that at each vertex, there is one triangle (3) and two hexagons (6):
 
  • This is a truncated cube with a vertex arrangement of (3, 8, 8):
 
  • This is a truncated octahedron with a vertex arrangement of (4, 6, 6):
  • Ten other semi-regular polyhedra and their vertex arrangements are listed below:
    • Cuboctahedron: (3, 4, 3, 4)
    • Truncated cuboctahedron: (4, 6, 8)
    • Rhombicuboctahedron: (3, 4, 4, 4)
    • Snub cuboctahedron: (3, 3, 3, 3, 4)
    • Truncated dodecahedron : (3, 10, 10)
    • Truncated icosahedron : (5, 6, 6)
    • Icosidodecahedron: (3, 5, 3, 5)
    • Truncated Icosidodecahedron: (4, 6, 10)
    • Rhombicosidodecahedron: (3, 4, 5, 4)
    • Snub icosidodecahedron: (3, 3, 3, 3, 5)
