A Polyhedron with Eight Regular Hexagonal Faces and Twenty-Four Irregular Pentagonal Faces

8 reg octs and 16 irreg pents

There are many polyhedra that include only hexagons and pentagons as faces — infinitely many, in fact. Most of the well-studied ones include twelve regular pentagonal faces, though, but this polyhedron has twenty-four pentagons, none of which are regular, in six panels of four pentagons each. Its regular faces are the eight hexagons, in the face-planes of the faces of an octahedron.

Six Hexagons and Four Triangles, As Faces of a Small Polyhedron

6 hex and 4 tril

One could call this a half-truncated cube. A fully truncated cube has eight triangular faces, created by truncation, and this has half as many.

A Radial Tessellation of Regular Decagons and Bowtie Hexagons

This tiling-pattern could be continued indefinitely, while still maintaining its five-fold radial symmetry, giving it the overall appearance of a pentagon.

A Radial Tessellation Including Regular Pentagons and Hexagons, As Well As Expanding Gap-Polygons

pentagons and hexagons

Radial tessellations are described in the previous post. This is a continuation of the idea, but with both regular pentagons and hexagons included. As before, the largest resulting gap-polygons expand as one recedes from the center.
