Learn about the 13 Archimedean solids, polyhedra made up of different kinds of regular polygons, and their properties and names. Find out who Archimedes was and how he discovered the volume of irregular objects.
Learn about the 13 Archimedean solids, a group of semi-regular polyhedrons with high symmetry and different types of regular polygons as faces. Find out how they are related to the Platonic solids and how they are used in modern construction and soccer balls.
The Archimedean Solids. Apart from the infinite sets of regular-based prisms and anti-prisms, there are only thirteen convex semi-regular polyhedra. These are known as the Archimedean Solids. The first of these has the symmetry of the regular tetrahedron. Truncated Tetrahedron; The next six are related to both the cube and octahedron. Truncated ...
So he developed the Archimedean solids, also called the semiregular solids. A semiregular solid consists of n-gons pasted together so that vertices are indistinguishable. This means each corner consists of the same n-gons, in the same clockwise order.
