CUBE and TRUNCATED CUBE

 A truncated cube is derived from a cube by cutting off its corners, resulting in eight
equilateral triangles.
 Notation: (3,8,8) denotes one triangle and two octagons at each vertex.
 Another notation: Cundy and Rollett symbol, represented as 3.8^2.
 It consists of 8 faces of three-sided figures (equilateral triangles) denoted by 8 F3.
 Additionally, it has 6 faces of eight sides (regular octagons) indicated by 6 F8. The original
cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.
 Vertices and edges of the truncated cube are tripled compared to the original cube. The
truncated cube has 8 more faces than the original cube, reflecting the number of cuts made.
TETRAHEDRON and TRUNCATED TETRAHEDRON
 A truncated Tetrahedron is formed by cutting the vertices off a tetrahedron, resulting in
equilateral triangles and regular hexagons at each vertex.
 Notation: (3, 6, 6) or 3.6^2.
 Original Tetrahedron: 4 faces, 4 vertices, and 6 edges.
 Truncated Tetrahedron: 4 equilateral triangular faces and 4 regular hexagonal faces, totaling 8
faces, 12 vertices, and 18 edges. The Truncated Tetrahedron has 4 more faces compared to the
original tetrahedron due to the cuts made.
 The number of vertices and edges is multiplied by three due to the addition of equilateral
triangles, maintaining the same relationship observed in the truncated cube.

OCTAHEDRON and TRUNCATED OCTAHEDRON

 The Octahedron, with 8 faces, 6 vertices, and 12 edges, can be truncated to produce another
Archimedean solid.
 The resulting Truncated Octahedron is denoted by the symbol (4, 6, 6) or 4,62, indicating that
at each vertex, a square is connected to two regular hexagons.
 This square is created by removing each vertex from the original Octahedron. The Octahedron
possesses 8 faces, 6 vertices, and 12 edges. When truncated, it transforms into the Truncated
 Octahedron, featuring 6 square faces and 8 regular hexagonal faces, totaling 14 faces, 24
vertices, and 36 edges.
 This transformation involves making 6 cuts on the Octahedron to generate the additional 6
faces. With the addition of squares, the number of vertices increases fourfold, and the number
of edges rises by 24, considering the four extra edges for each of the 6 cuts. Notably, this
outcome is equivalent to tripling the number of edges in the original Octahedron.

DODECAHEDRON and TRUNCATED DODECAHEDRON

 The Dodecahedron, depicted below, comprises 12 faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges. By cutting
each of the 20 vertices, it is possible to form 20 equilateral triangles.
 This results in the Truncated Dodecahedron symbolized as (3, 10, 10) or 3, 102, where each
vertex is connected to an equilateral triangle and two regular decagons.
 The Truncated Dodecahedron features 20 equilateral triangular faces and 12 regular
decagonal faces. The 20 triangles result from the cuts made at each vertex, adding to the
original 12 dodecahedral faces to make a total of 32 faces.
 With 60 vertices and 90 edges, these figures are obtained by tripling the number of vertices
and edges of the original Platonic solid, accounting for the addition of equilateral triangles
and their associated vertices and edges.
ICOSAHEDRON and TRUNCATED ICOSAHEDRON
 The Icosahedron, characterized by 20 faces, 12 vertices, and 30 edges, can be transformed
into a Truncated Icosahedron by truncating it at each of the 12 vertices.
 The Truncated Icosahedron, also called the soccer ball, is represented symbolically as (5, 6, 6)
or 5, 62, signifying the presence of a regular pentagon at each vertex joined with two regular
hexagons.
 Both the Icosahedron and Truncated Icosahedron are depicted below.
 The Truncated Icosahedron boasts 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal
faces, resulting in a combined total of 32 faces.
 With 60 vertices and 90 edges, these figures stem from the truncation process, which involves
making 12 cuts to produce the 12 pentagonal faces. These newly created pentagonal faces,
each possessing five corners, contribute to the total of 60 vertices, which is a multiplication of
the original 12 vertices.
 Additionally, by adding the 12 regular pentagons, the original 30 edges are augmented by a
further 60 edges.

TRUNCATED CUBE and CUBOCTAHEDRON

 The Truncated Cube is a solid that can be transformed into a cuboctahedron by connecting the
midpoints of alternating edges of octagons. This creates a larger equilateral triangle, leaving a
four-sided shape on the current octagonal face.
 The cuboctahedron has 8 equilateral triangular faces and 6 square faces, totaling 14 faces.
 The number of edges decreases to 24 as regular hexagons are replaced by squares.
  The cuboctahedron can also be derived by truncating the original cube with triangles formed
by the midpoints of each edge.
TRUNCATED DODECAHEDRON and ICOSIDODECAHEDRON
 The Icosidodecahedron can be derived by truncating either the Truncated Dodecahedron or
the original Icosahedron. From the Truncated Dodecahedron, which possesses 32 faces, 60
vertices, and 90 edges, cuts are made to create larger equilateral triangles from the smaller
triangles.
 Symbolized as (3, 3, 5, 5) or 32, 52, these solid features two equilateral triangles joined with
two regular pentagons at each vertex. Similarly, regular pentagonal faces and equilateral
triangles can be formed by identifying the midpoints of the original Icosahedron's edges and
making appropriate cuts.
 The Icosidodecahedron comprises 20 equilateral triangular faces and 12 regular pentagonal
faces, totaling 32.
 Its 30 vertices and 60 edges are formed by the shared corners and sides of these equilateral
triangles and regular pentagons.In contrast, the Truncated Dodecahedron has 60 vertices and
90 edges since its shapes are equilateral triangles and regular decagons, resulting in more
shared corners and sides than the Icosidodecahedron.
 The original Icosahedron, consisting of equilateral triangles, has 12 vertices and 30 edges.
Pairing regular polygons with more sides in the Icosidodecahedron leads to an increase in the
number of edges and vertices.
ICOSIDODECAHEDRON and TRUNCATED ICOSIDODECAHEDRON
 The Truncated icosidodecahedron can be formed by taking the Icosidodecahedron and
converting the resulting rectangles into squares.
 Symbolized as 4.6.10, the Truncated icosidodecahedron features a square joined with a
regular hexagon and a regular decagon at each vertex.
 The Truncated icosidodecahedron boasts 62 faces, comprising 20 regular hexagons, 30
squares, and 12 regular decagons. It also possesses 120 vertices and 180 edges. The
Icosidodecahedron initially has 32 faces, 30 vertices, and 60 edges.
 By making cuts along the 30 vertices, 30 new faces are created, adding to the original 32 for a
total of 62 faces. The number of vertices increases fourfold due to the addition of squares,
while the number of edges triples due to the addition of equilateral triangles.
CUBOCTAHEDRON and TRUNCATED CUBOCTAHEDRON
 The Truncated cuboctahedron is formed through truncation and distortion of the
Cuboctahedron by cutting along each vertex. This results in a solid with square, regular
hexagon, and regular octagon faces meeting at each vertex, denoted by the symbol 4.6.8.
 The Cuboctahedron and Truncated cuboctahedron are depicted below, along with their
respective counts of faces, vertices, and edges.
 The Truncated cuboctahedron comprises 12 square faces, 8 regular hexagonal faces, and 6
regular octagonal faces, summing up to 26 faces. It boasts a total of 48 vertices and 72 edges.
 Initially, the Cuboctahedron featured 14 faces, 12 vertices, and 24 edges. Upon truncation
along its 12 vertices, 12 new rectangular faces are generated and transformed into squares.
 These additional 12 square faces, when combined with the original 14 faces, yield a total of
26 faces. By multiplying the original 12 vertices by 4 (representing the added squares), the
total vertices amount to 48.
DODECAHEDRON, ICOSAHEDRON, and RHOMBICOSIDODECAHEDRON
 The Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid formed by expanding the
Dodecahedron and Icosahedron.
 It consists of 20 equilateral triangle faces, 30 square faces, and 12 regular pentagonal faces,
totaling 62 faces.
 The Dodecahedron initially had 20 vertices, but with the addition of equilateral triangles and
regular pentagons, the total reached 60.
 The Icosahedron had 12 vertices, and with the addition of regular pentagons, the total reached
120.
 The square quadrilateral faces fill gaps when combining the faces from the Icosahedron and
the Dodecahedron into a single solid.
CUBE, OCTAHEDRON, and RHOMBICUBOCTAHEDRON
 The Small Rhombicuboctahedron is created by expanding the Cube and Octahedron.
 It has a symbol of 3.43 because, at each vertex, three squares meet with one equilateral
triangle.
 The Rhombicuboctahedron consists of 8 equilateral triangle faces and 18 square faces.
 The Cube contributes 6 square faces, while the Octahedron provides 8 equilateral triangle
faces.
 The 8 equilateral triangle faces are connected with the 6 square faces, and an additional 12
squares are introduced to fill the remaining gaps, resulting in a total of 26 faces for the
Rhombicuboctahedron. Initially, the Cube had 8 vertices, and the Octahedron had 6 vertices.
 The 12 added squares share some corners with the existing polygons but introduce 10 more
vertices to augment the original 14.
 The number of edges increases by 24, originating from the sides added to the solid when
incorporating the new squares. Some edges are shared with already established polygons.
DODECAHEDRON and SNUB DODECAHEDRON
 The Snub Dodecahedron is a chiral solid with both left-handed and right-handed appearances.
 Its symbol is 34.5, indicating that at each vertex, four equilateral triangles and one regular
pentagon meet.
 The Snub Dodecahedron is formed by expanding and twisting the regular pentagons of the
Dodecahedron while filling the gaps between them with equilateral triangles.
 The Snub Dodecahedron comprises the original Dodecahedron's 12 regular pentagonal faces
and 80 additional equilateral triangle faces added to complete the solid, totaling 92 faces.
Initially, the Dodecahedron possesses 20 vertices.
 Considering that each equilateral triangle has three corners, multiplying the 20 vertices by
three for each triangle results in a total of 60 vertices.
 The total of 150 edges arises from the Dodecahedron's original 30 edges, with each regular
pentagon contributing 5 edges, as each side of the regular pentagon is connected to an
equilateral triangle.
