moving geometry

the convex semiregular

Convex uniform polyhedra have regular faces and are isogonal, meaning they are transitive in their vertices, and are dividable into:

  • Regular polyhedra: 5, isoedral and isotoxal (aka the Platonic solids),
  • Quasiregular polyhedra: 2, isotoxal (aka Archimedean solids, in which each face is surrounded by faces of a different type), They are obtained from rectification of the convex regular and are dealt with in this webpage.
  • Semiregular polyhedra: the remaining 11 Archimedeans, and the infinite families of the semiregular prisms and antiprisms.
