Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron, adding pyramids to the 20 hexagonal faces, creating 120 new triangular faces. It is visually similar to the chiral snub dodecahedron which has 80 triangles and 12 pentagons. The dual polyhedron can be seen as a "hexatruncated pentakis dodecahedron", a dodecahedron with its faced augmented by pentagonal pyramids (a pentakis dodecahedron), and then its 6-valance vertices truncated. It has similar groups of irregular pentagons as the pentagonal hexecontahedron. Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron The hexapentakis truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron. It is geodesic polyhedron {3,5+}, with pentavalent vertices separated
Rhombic dodecahedron for constructing the rhombic dodecahedron: cut a cube into six congruent square pyramids, and attach them to the faces of a second cube. The triangular faces of each pair of adjacent pyramids lie on the same plane, and so merge into rhombuses. The 24-cell may also be constructed in an analogous way using two tesseracts. Rhombic dodecahedron In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces. It has 24 edges, and 14 vertices of two types. It is a Catalan solid, and the dual polyhedron of the cuboctahedron. The rhombic dodecahedron is a zonohedron. Its
