Point groups in three dimensions the finite subgroups of SO(3), are: the cyclic groups "C" (the rotation group of a canonical pyramid), the dihedral groups "D" (the rotation group of a uniform prism, or canonical bipyramid), and the rotation groups "T", "O" and "I" of a regular tetrahedron, octahedron/cube and icosahedron/dodecahedron. In particular, the dihedral groups "D", "D" etc. are the rotation groups of plane regular polygons embedded in three-dimensional space, and such a figure may be considered as a degenerate regular prism. Therefore, it is also called a "dihedron" (Greek: solid with two faces), which explains the name "dihedral group". The rotation group of
Equable shape its surface area is numerically equal to its volume. As with equable shapes in two dimensions, you may find an equable solid, in which the volume is numerically equal to the surface area, by scaling any solid by an appropriate factor. For example a cube with side length six. Equable shape A two-dimensional equable shape (or perfect shape) is one whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter. For example, a right angled triangle with sides 5, 12 and 13 has area and perimeter both have a unitless numerical value of 30. An area cannot be equal to a length
