Type Truncated trapezohedron
Truncated trapezohedron
An n-agonal truncated trapezohedron is a polyhedron formed by a n-agonal trapezohedron with n-agonal pyramids truncated from its two polar axis vertices....

Faces 12 pentagon
Pentagon
In geometry, a pentagon is any five-sided polygon. A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting. The sum of the internal angles in a simple pentagon is 540°. A pentagram is an example of a self-intersecting pentagon.- Regular pentagons :In a regular pentagon, all sides are equal in length and...

Edges 36
Vertices 24

Dual polyhedron
Dual polyhedron
In geometry, polyhedra are associated into pairs called duals, where the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other. The dual of the dual is the original polyhedron. The dual of a polyhedron with equivalent vertices is one with equivalent faces, and of one with equivalent edges is another...

This polyhedron can be constructed by taking a hexagonal trapezohedron
Hexagonal trapezohedron
The hexagonal trapezohedron or deltohedron is the fourth in an infinite series of face-uniform polyhedra which are dual polyhedron to the antiprisms. It has twelve faces which are congruent kites.- External links :* The Encyclopedia of Polyhedra...

Another form of this polyhedron has D2d symmetry and is a part of a space-filling honeycomb
Honeycomb (geometry)
In geometry, a honeycomb is a space filling or close packing of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells, so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation in any number of dimensions....

irregular tetradecahedron
Tetradecahedron
A tetradecahedron is a polyhedron with 14 faces. There are numerous topologically distinct forms of a tetradecahedron, with many constructible entirely with regular polygon faces....
