Four Polyhedra Featuring Heptagons
Heptagons only appear infrequently in interesting polyhedra. I recently found a few that I like. To form the first of these solids, shown above, I started with the icosidodecahedron, dropped the symmetry of the model from icosahedral to tetrahedral, and … Continue reading

Three Polyhedra Featuring Heptagons
For some reason I do not fully understand, polyhedra featuring heptagons, even if irregular, do not appear often, at least not in my geometrical investigations — so I was pleased to find these three, using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, available … Continue reading
A Box of Heptagons
It is hard to find polyhedra which contain regular heptagons, but that simply makes the search more challenging, and therefore more fun. This polyhedron features six regular heptagons, and was created with Stella 4d, software available here.

A Survey of Right Angles in Convex Heptagons
In how many ways can different numbers of right angles appear in convex heptagons? Heptagons do not have to have right angles at all, of course. If a heptagon has exactly one right angle, only one arrangement is possible: a … Continue reading
