Johnson solids

Pentagonal orthocupolarotunda

In geometry, the pentagonal orthocupolarotunda is one of the Johnson solids (J32). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by joining a pentagonal cupola (J5) and a pentagonal rotunda (J6) along their decagonal bases, matching the pentagonal faces. A 36-degree rotation of one of the halves before the joining yields a pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda (J33). A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966. (Wikipedia).

Orthocenters exist! | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 10 | NJ Wildberger

In classical hyperbolic geometry, orthocenters of triangles do not in general exist. Here in universal hyperbolic geometry, they do. This is a crucial building block for triangle geometry in this subject. The dual of an orthocenter is called an ortholine---also not seen in classical hyperb

Orthogonality and Orthonormality

We know that the word orthogonal is kind of like the word perpendicular. It implies that two vectors have an angle of ninety degrees or half pi radians between them. But this term means much more than this, as we can have orthogonal matrices, or entire subspaces that are orthogonal to one
