Related Polyhedra
This polyhedron is a part of a sequence of rhombic polyhedra and tilings with Coxeter group symmetry. The cube can be seen as a rhombic hexahedron where the rhombi are squares.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
