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
Regular icosahedron and hyperbolic plane for any higher "n". The series can be considered to begin with "n" = 2, with one set of faces degenerated into digons. The icosahedron can tessellate hyperbolic space in the order-3 icosahedral honeycomb, with 3 icosahedra around each edge, 12 icosahedra around each vertex, with Schläfli symbol {3,5,3}. It is one of four regular tessellations in the hyperbolic 3-space. Regular icosahedron In geometry, a regular icosahedron ( or ) is a convex polyhedron with 20 faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, and the one with the most sides.
