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.”
