What is the dual of a cuboctahedron?
What is the dual of a cuboctahedron?
Its dual polyhedron is the rhombic dodecahedron.
What does a cuboctahedron look like?
A cuboctahedron is a polyhedron with eight triangular faces and six square faces. A cuboctahedron has 12 identical vertices, with two triangles and two squares meeting at each, and 24 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a square.

How many edges does a rhombicuboctahedron have?
48
The Great Rhombicuboctahedron has 12 square faces, 8 regular hexagonal faces, and 6 regular octagonal faces for a total of 26 faces. This solid also has a total of 48 vertices and 72 edges.
Why are the cube and octahedron duals?
If we choose the centers of the six square faces of a cube, these are the vertices of an octahedron. We say that the octahedron is the dual of the cube. Conversely, the centers of the eight triangular faces of an octahedron are the vertices of a cube, so the cube is the dual of the octahedron.
What is dual poly?
The Dual Poly Pro Bath has 2 unique polypropylene chambers. Due to the distinctive nature of polypropylene, not only are the chamber’s surface resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, but the glossy finish is non-stick for an easy clean up.
What does a octahedron look like?
In geometry, an octahedron (plural: octahedra, octahedrons) is a polyhedron with eight faces. The term is most commonly used to refer to the regular octahedron, a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex.
Who invented Rhombicuboctahedron?
Johannes Kepler in Harmonices Mundi (1618) named this polyhedron a rhombicuboctahedron, being short for truncated cuboctahedral rhombus, with cuboctahedral rhombus being his name for a rhombic dodecahedron.
