Compound of five tetrahemihexahedra

Polyhedral compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A compound of five tetrahemihexahedra is a uniform polyhedron compound and a symmetric arrangement of five tetrahemihexahedra. It could be also called a hemirhombichiricosahedron. It is chiral with icosahedral symmetry (I).

Five tetrahemihexahedra in an icosidodecahedron

Its convex hull is an icosidodecahedron. Hence it is a faceting of an icosidodecahedron, shown at left. It shares its edges and triangular faces with the compound of five octahedra.
