In geometry, the truncated tetrahedron is an Archimedean solid. It has 4 regular hexagonal faces, 4 equilateral triangle faces, 12 vertices and 18 edges (of two types). It can be constructed by truncating all 4 vertices of a regular tetrahedron at one third of the original edge length. A deeper truncation, removing a tetrahedron of half the original edge length from each vertex, is called rectification. The rectification of a tetrahedron produces an octahedron. A truncated tetrahedron is the Goldberg polyhedron GIII(1,1), containing triangular and hexagonal faces. A truncated tetrahedron can be called a cantic cube, with Coxeter diagram, , having half of the vertices of the cantellated cube (rhombicuboctahedron), . There are two dual positions of this construction, and combining them creates the uniform compound of two truncated tetrahedra. (Wikipedia).

How Many Faces, Edges And Vertices Does A Triangular Pyramid Have? Here we’ll look at how to work out the faces, edges and vertices of a triangular pyramid. We’ll start by counting the faces, these are the flat surfaces that make the 3D shape. A triangular pyramid has 4 faces altogether

The geometry of the regular tetrahedron | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 45 | NJ Wildberger
We look at the geometry of the regular tetrahedron, from the point of view of rational trigonometry. In particular we re-evaluate an important angle for chemists formed by the bonds in a methane molecule, and obtain an interesting rational spread instead. Video Content: 00:00 Introduction

Abstract: In these lectures, we will review what it means for a 3-manifold to have a hyperbolic structure, and give tools to show that a manifold is hyperbolic. We will also discuss how to decompose examples of 3-manifolds, such as knot complements, into simpler pieces. We give conditions

We investigate the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octohedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Euler's formula relates the number of vertices, edges and faces. We give a proof using a triangulation argument and the flow down a sphere. This is the eighth lecture in this beginner's
