This is a remake of "Ecke Kante Fläche" by Klaus-Dieter Keller, modified to be a bit more accessible: the vertex and edge highlights are bigger, and all the higlights have some white space around them so that they stand out even when the difference in colour can't be seen.
It has 12 square faces, 8 regular hexagonal faces, 6 regular octagonal faces, 48 vertices, and 72 edges. Since each of its faces has point symmetry (equivalently, 180° rotational symmetry), the truncated cuboctahedron is a 9-zonohedron. The truncated cuboctahedron can tessellate with the octagonal prism.
The eight vertices on the 3-fold symmetry axes can be seen as the vertices of a fifth cube of the same size. [3] Referring to the images below, the four old cubes are called colored, and the new one black. Each colored cube has two opposite vertices on a 3-fold symmetry axis, which are shared with the black cube.

This process is known as rectification, making the cuboctahedron being named the rectified cube and rectified octahedron. [ 3 ] An alternative construction is by cutting of all of the vertices, known as truncation . can be started from a regular tetrahedron , cutting off the vertices and beveling the edges.
Like other cuboids, every face of a cube has four vertices, each of which connects with three congruent lines. These edges form square faces, making the dihedral angle of a cube between every two adjacent squares being the interior angle of a square, 90°. Hence, the cube has six faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.
In geometry, a tesseract or 4-cube is a four-dimensional hypercube, analogous to a two-dimensional square and a three-dimensional cube. [1] Just as the perimeter of the square consists of four edges and the surface of the cube consists of six square faces , the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells , meeting at right ...
The rhombicuboctahedron may be constructed from a cube by drawing a smaller one in the middle of each face, parallel to the cube's edges. After removing the edges of a cube, the squares may be joined by adding more squares adjacent between them, and the corners may be filled by the equilateral triangles.
