Three Convex Polyhedra with Tetrahedral Symmetry, Each Featuring Four Regular 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 … Continue reading
