Trigonal Trapezohedral Honeycomb

picture info	Trigonal Trapezohedral Honeycomb In geometry, the trigonal trapezohedral honeycomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. Cells are identical trigonal trapezohedra or rhombohedra. Conway, Burgiel, and Goodman-Strauss call it an oblate cubille. Related honeycombs and tilings This honeycomb can be seen as a rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb, with the rhombic dodecahedra dissected with its center into 4 trigonal trapezohedra or rhombohedra. It is analogous to the regular hexagonal being dissectable into 3 rhombi and tiling the plane as a rhombille. The rhombille tiling is actually an orthogonal projection of the ''trigonal trapezohedral honeycomb''. A different orthogonal projection produces the quadrille where the rhombi are distorted into squares. Dual tiling It is dual to the quarter cubic honeycomb with tetrahedral and truncated tetrahedral cells: : See also Architectonic and catoptric tessellation In geometry, John Horton Conway defines architectonic and catoptri ...

picture info	Uniform Honeycomb In geometry, a uniform honeycomb or uniform tessellation or infinite uniform polytope, is a vertex-transitive honeycomb made from uniform polytope facets. All of its vertices are identical and there is the same combination and arrangement of faces at each vertex. Its dimension can be clarified as -honeycomb for an -dimensional honeycomb. An -dimensional uniform honeycomb can be constructed on the surface of -spheres, in -dimensional Euclidean space, and -dimensional hyperbolic space. A 2-dimensional uniform honeycomb is more often called a uniform tiling or uniform tessellation. Nearly all uniform tessellations can be generated by a Wythoff construction, and represented by a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram. The terminology for the convex uniform polytopes used in uniform polyhedron, uniform 4-polytope, uniform 5-polytope, uniform 6-polytope, uniform tiling, and convex uniform honeycomb articles were coined by Norman Johnson. Wythoffian tessellations can be defined by a vertex figure. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Rhombille In geometry, the rhombille tiling, also known as tumbling blocks, reversible cubes, or the dice lattice, is a tessellation of identical 60° rhombi on the Euclidean plane. Each rhombus has two 60° and two 120° angles; rhombi with this shape are sometimes also called diamonds. Sets of three rhombi meet at their 120° angles, and sets of six rhombi meet at their 60° angles. Properties The rhombille tiling can be seen as a subdivision of a hexagonal tiling with each hexagon divided into three rhombi meeting at the center point of the hexagon. This subdivision represents a regular compound tiling. It can also be seen as a subdivision of four hexagonal tilings with each hexagon divided into 12 rhombi. The diagonals of each rhomb are in the ratio 1:. This is the dual tiling of the trihexagonal tiling or kagome lattice. As the dual to a uniform tiling, it is one of eleven possible Laves tilings, and in the face configuration for monohedral tilings it is denoted .6.3.6 It is al ...

picture info	Rhombohedron In geometry, a rhombohedron (also called a rhombic hexahedron or, inaccurately, a rhomboid Traditionally, in two-dimensional geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are non-right angled. A parallelogram with sides of equal length (equilateral) is a rhombus but not a rhomboi ...) is a three-dimensional figure with six faces which are rhombus, rhombi. It is a special case of a parallelepiped where all edges are the same length. It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a Honeycomb (geometry), honeycomb with rhombohedral cells. A cube is a special case of a rhombohedron with all sides square. In general a ''rhombohedron'' can have up to three types of rhombic faces in congruent opposite pairs, ''C''''i'' symmetry, Order (group theory), order 2.

	Trigonal Trapezohedron In geometry, a trigonal trapezohedron is a rhombohedron (a polyhedron with six rhombus-shaped faces) in which, additionally, all six faces are congruent. Alternative names for the same shape are the ''trigonal deltohedron'' or ''isohedral rhombohedron''. Some sources just call them ''rhombohedra''. Geometry Six identical rhombic faces can construct two configurations of trigonal trapezohedra. The ''acute'' or ''prolate'' form has three acute angle corners of the rhombic faces meeting at the two polar axis vertices. The ''obtuse'' or ''oblate'' or ''flat'' form has three obtuse angle corners of the rhombic faces meeting at the two polar axis vertices. More strongly than having all faces congruent, the trigonal trapezohedra are isohedral figures, meaning that they have symmetries that take any face to any other face. Special cases A cube can be interpreted as a special case of a trigonal trapezohedron, with square rather than rhombic faces. The two golden rhombohedra are the acut ...

	Dissection (geometry) In geometry, a dissection problem is the problem of partitioning a geometric figure (such as a polytope or ball) into smaller pieces that may be rearranged into a new figure of equal content. In this context, the partitioning is called simply a dissection (of one polytope into another). It is usually required that the dissection use only a finite number of pieces. Additionally, to avoid set-theoretic issues related to the Banach–Tarski paradox and Tarski's circle-squaring problem, the pieces are typically required to be well-behaved. For instance, they may be restricted to being the closures of disjoint open sets. The Bolyai–Gerwien theorem states that any polygon may be dissected into any other polygon of the same area, using interior-disjoint polygonal pieces. It is not true, however, that any polyhedron has a dissection into any other polyhedron of the same volume using polyhedral pieces (see Dehn invariant). This process ''is'' possible, however, for any two honeycombs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Rhombic Dodecahedral Honeycomb The rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb (also dodecahedrille) is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is the Voronoi diagram of the face-centered cubic sphere-packing, which has the densest possible packing of equal spheres in ordinary space (see Kepler conjecture). Geometry It consists of copies of a single cell, the rhombic dodecahedron. All faces are rhombi, with diagonals in the ratio 1:. Three cells meet at each edge. The honeycomb is thus cell-transitive, face-transitive, and edge-transitive; but it is not vertex-transitive, as it has two kinds of vertex. The vertices with the obtuse rhombic face angles have 4 cells. The vertices with the acute rhombic face angles have 6 cells. The rhombic dodecahedron can be twisted on one of its hexagonal cross-sections to form a trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron, which is the cell of a somewhat similar tessellation, the Voronoi diagram of hexagonal close-packing. Colorings Cells can be given 4 colors in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
