A trirectangular tetrahedron with its base shown in green and its apex as a solid black disk. It can be constructed by a coordinate octant and a plane crossing all 3 axes away from the origin (x>0; y>0; z>0) and x/a+y/b+z/c<1. In geometry, a trirectangular tetrahedron is a tetrahedron where all three face angles at one vertex are right angles.
The cube can be dissected into six 3-orthoschemes, three left-handed and three right-handed (one of each at each cube face), and cubes can fill space, so the characteristic 3-orthoscheme of the cube is a space-filling tetrahedron in this sense.
Class III: {3,q+} b,c have nonzero unequal values for b,c, and exist in chiral pairs. For b > c we can define it as a right-handed form, and c > b is a left-handed form. Subdivisions in class III here do not line up simply with the original edges.
Snub polyhedra have Wythoff symbol | p q r and by extension, vertex configuration 3.p.3.q.3.r.Retrosnub polyhedra (a subset of the snub polyhedron, containing the great icosahedron, small retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron, and great retrosnub icosidodecahedron) still have this form of Wythoff symbol, but their vertex configurations are instead (..).
T h, 3*2, [4,3 +] or m 3, of order 24 – pyritohedral symmetry. [1] This group has the same rotation axes as T, with mirror planes through two of the orthogonal directions. The 3-fold axes are now S 6 ( 3 ) axes, and there is a central inversion symmetry.
The 12 face angles - there are three of them for each of the four faces of the tetrahedron. The 6 dihedral angles - associated to the six edges of the tetrahedron, since any two faces of the tetrahedron are connected by an edge. The 4 solid angles - associated to each point of the tetrahedron.
In geometry, a compound of three tetrahedra can be constructed by three tetrahedra rotated by 60 degree turns along an axis of the middle of an edge. It has dihedral symmetry , D 3d , order 12. It is a uniform prismatic compound of antiprisms , UC23.
A Heronian tetrahedron [1] (also called a Heron tetrahedron [2] or perfect pyramid [3]) is a tetrahedron whose edge lengths, face areas and volume are all integers. The faces must therefore all be Heronian triangles (named for Hero of Alexandria). Every Heronian tetrahedron can be arranged in Euclidean space so that its vertex coordinates are ...
