Truncated hexagonal trapezohedron explained

Type:Truncated trapezohedron
Faces:12 pentagons
2 hexagons
Edges:36
Vertices:24
Conway:t6dA6
Symmetry: order 24
Rotation Group: order 12
Dual:Gyroelongated hexagonal dipyramid
Properties:convex

In geometry, the truncated hexagonal trapezohedron is the fourth in an infinite series of truncated trapezohedra. It has 12 pentagon and 2 hexagon faces. It can be constructed by taking a hexagonal trapezohedron and truncating the polar axis vertices.

Weaire–Phelan structure

The Weaire–Phelan structure contains another form of this polyhedron that has D2d symmetry and is a part of a space-filling honeycomb along with an irregular dodecahedron.
