Meaning of snub disphenoid | Babel Free

Definitions

A non-regular convex polyhedron that has 12 equilateral triangles as faces and 18 edges and is a Johnson solid.

Examples

“For the snub disphenoid, our existence proof used the intermediate value theorem in the real numbers to argue⟳ that as AB decreases and CD increases there is a point⟳ where they become⟳ equal.”

“In this structure-type, the eight-coordinate polyhedra (snub disphenoids) share⟳ edges to form⟳ a framework composed of cross-linked chains that extend⟳ along the [100] and [010] directions.”

“Thus, at a basic level this activity is about exploring such polyhedra, starting with the regular cases of the tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron and moving into other solids like⟳ the triangular dipyramid and snub disphenoid.”
