Truncation (geometry) - Rhombitruncated Examples

Rhombitruncated Examples

These forms start with a rectified regular form which is truncated. The vertices are order-4, and a true geometric truncation would create rectangular faces. The uniform rhombitruction requires adjustment to create square faces.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
