Hexagonal bipyramid bipyramid has a plane of symmetry (which is horizontal in the figure to the right) where the bases of the two pyramids are joined. This plane is a regular hexagon. There are also six planes of symmetry crossing through the two apices. These planes are rhombic and lie at 30° angles to each other, perpendicular to the horizontal plane. It can be drawn as a tiling on a sphere which also represents the fundamental domains of [3,2], *322 dihedral symmetry: The hexagonal bipyramid, dt{2,6}, can be in sequence truncated, tdt{2,6} and alternated (snubbed), sdt{2,6}: The "hexagonal bipyramid", dt{2,6}, can be
Distance from a point to a plane Distance from a point to a plane In Euclidean space, the point on a plane formula_1 that is closest to the origin has the Cartesian coordinates formula_2, where The distance between the origin and point formula_2 is formula_5. If what is desired is the distance from a point not at the origin to the nearest point on a plane, this can be found by a change of variables that moves the origin to coincide with the given point. Suppose we wish to find the nearest point on a plane to the point (formula_6), where the plane is given by formula_7.
