  2. Space diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_diagonal

    An axial diagonal is a space diagonal that passes through the center of a polyhedron. For example, in a cube with edge length a , all four space diagonals are axial diagonals, of common length a 3 . {\displaystyle a{\sqrt {3}}.}

  3. Polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedron

    In geometry, a polyhedron (pl.: polyhedra or polyhedrons; from Greek πολύ (poly-) 'many' and ἕδρον (-hedron) 'base, seat') is a three-dimensional figure with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices. A convex polyhedron is a polyhedron that bounds a convex set.

  4. Diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal

    The diagonals of a cube with side length 1. AC' (shown in blue) is a space diagonal with length , while AC (shown in red) is a face diagonal and has length .. In geometry, a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, when those vertices are not on the same edge.

  5. Rhombic dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_dodecahedron

    In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces. It has 24 edges, and 14 vertices of 2 types. As a Catalan solid, it is the dual polyhedron of the cuboctahedron. As a parallelohedron, the rhombic dodecahedron can be used to tesselate its copies in space creating a rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb.

  6. Edge (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_(geometry)

    In a polyhedron or more generally a polytope, an edge is a line segment where two faces (or polyhedron sides) meet. [3] A segment joining two vertices while passing through the interior or exterior is not an edge but instead is called a diagonal. An edge may also be an infinite line separating two half-planes. [4]

  7. Face diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_diagonal

    AC (shown in red) is a face diagonal while AC' (shown in blue) is a space diagonal. In geometry, a face diagonal of a polyhedron is a diagonal on one of the faces, in contrast to a space diagonal passing through the interior of the polyhedron. [1] A cuboid has twelve face diagonals (two on each of the six faces), and it has four space diagonals ...

  8. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    The diagonal of a matrix denotes the number of each element that appears in a polyhedron, whereas the non-diagonal of a matrix denotes the number of the column's elements that occur in or at the row's element. As mentioned above, the cube has eight vertices, twelve edges, and six faces; each element in a matrix's diagonal is denoted as 8, 12 ...

  9. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The Szilassi polyhedron and the tetrahedron are the only two known polyhedra in which each face shares an edge with each other face. Furthermore, the Császár polyhedron (itself is the dual of Szilassi polyhedron) and the tetrahedron are the only two known polyhedra in which every diagonal lies on the sides.
