Regular polyhedron a hemisphere, and vertices around a great circle. It is "regular" if the vertices are equally spaced. The hosohedron {2,"n"} is dual to the dihedron {"n",2}. Note that when "n" = 2, we obtain the polyhedron {2,2}, which is both a hosohedron and a dihedron. All of these have Euler characteristic 2. Regular polyhedron A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags. A regular polyhedron is highly symmetrical, being all of edge-transitive, vertex-transitive and face-transitive. In classical contexts, many different equivalent definitions are used; a common one is that faces are congruent regular polygons
Cupola (geometry) its expansion. Cupola (geometry) In geometry, a cupola is a solid formed by joining two polygons, one (the base) with twice as many edges as the other, by an alternating band of isosceles triangles and rectangles. If the triangles are equilateral and the rectangles are squares, while the base and its opposite face are regular polygons, the triangular, square, and pentagonal cupolae all count among the Johnson solids, and can be formed by taking sections of the cuboctahedron, rhombicuboctahedron, and rhombicosidodecahedron, respectively. A cupola can be seen as a prism where one of the polygons has been collapsed in half
