- Source: Truncated trapezohedron
In geometry, an n-gonal truncated trapezohedron is a polyhedron formed by a n-gonal trapezohedron with n-gonal pyramids truncated from its two polar axis vertices.
The vertices exist as 4 n-gons in four parallel planes, with alternating orientation in the middle creating the pentagons.
The regular dodecahedron is the most common polyhedron in this class, being a Platonic solid, with 12 congruent pentagonal faces.
A truncated trapezohedron has all vertices with 3 faces. This means that the dual polyhedra, the set of gyroelongated dipyramids, have all triangular faces. For example, the icosahedron is the dual of the dodecahedron.
