Archimedean solids. All the Archimedean solids (but not the elongated square gyrobicupola) can be made via Wythoff constructions from the Platonic solids with...

adding pyramids to the faces of the Platonic solids. This is just a help to visualize the shape of these solids, and not actually a claim that the edge...

unlike Platonic solids and Archimedean solids, the faces of Catalan solids are not regular polygons. However, the vertex figures of Catalan solids are regular...

Johnson solids can be constructed by removing the pentagonal pyramids. The regular icosahedron has many relations with other Platonic solids, one of them...

dodecahedra. While the regular dodecahedron shares many features with other Platonic solids, one unique property of it is that one can start at a corner of the...

they are isogonal; examples include Platonic and Archimedean solids as well as prisms and antiprisms. The Johnson solids are named after American mathematician...
