Three Convex Polyhedra with Tetrahedral Symmetry, Each Featuring Four Regular Enneagons

FOUR ENNEAGONS

In addition to the four regular enneagons, the polyhedron above also has rhombi and isosceles triangles as faces. The next one, however, adds equilateral triangles, instead, to the four regular enneagons, along with trapezoids and rectangles.

Only the last of these three truly deserves to be called a symmetrohedron, in my opinion, for both its hexagons and enneagons are regular. Only the “bowtie trapezoid” pairs are irregular.

All three of these polyhedra were created using software called Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which I use frequently for the blog-posts here. You can try it for free at this website.
