Hebesphenomegacorona Explained
In geometry, the hebesphenomegacorona is a Johnson solid with 18 equilateral triangles and 3 squares as its faces.
Properties
The hebesphenomegacorona is named by in which he used the prefix hebespheno- referring to a blunt wedge-like complex formed by three adjacent lunes - a square with equilateral triangles attached on its opposite sides. The suffix -megacorona refers to a crownlike complex of 12 triangles. By joining both complexes together, the result polyhedron has 18 equilateral triangles and 3 squares, making 21 faces.. All of its faces are regular polygons, categorizing the hebesphenomegacorona as a Johnson solid - a convex polyhedron in which all of its faces are regular polygons - enumerated as 89th Johnson solid
. It is elementary, meaning it cannot be separated by a plane into two small regular-faced polyhedra.
The surface area of a hebesphenomegacorona with edge length
can be determined by adding the area of its faces, 18 equilateral triangles and 3 squares
and its volume is
.
Cartesian coordinates
