Phrases 14
- dual polyhedronEither of a pair of polyhedra in which the faces of one are equivalent to the vertices of the other.
- abstract polyhedronA type of abstract polytope where the connections between its points correspond to the faces, edges, and vertices of a polyhedron.
- ideal polyhedronIn hyperbolic geometry, a polyhedron whose vertices are all ideal; i.e. points at infinity, rather than real. Its surface is topologically equivalent to a punctured sphere.
- Johnson polyhedronSynonym of Johnson solid: Any of a class of convex polyhedra that have regular faces but are not uniform (that is, not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms).
- noble polyhedronA polyhedron that is isohedral and isogonal.
- regular polyhedronA polyhedron whose faces are congruent regular polygons.
- spherical polyhedronA tessellation of a sphere in which the surface is entirely made of spherical polygons.

- toroidal polyhedronA polyhedron that has a topological genus of one or more.
- Kepler-Poinsot polyhedronSynonym of Kepler solid: Any of several nonconvex regular polyhedra with regular pentagrammatic faces or vertex figures and which can be obtained by stellation of the dodecahedron or icosahedron.
- quasiregular polyhedronA uniform polyhedron with two types of faces that alternate around each vertex.
- Schönhardt polyhedronThe simplest non-convex polyhedron that cannot be triangulated into tetrahedra without adding new vertices.
- semiregular polyhedronA polyhedron whose faces are all regular polygons, two or more having a different amount of sides, and each vertex having the same arrangement of polygons.
- Euler's polyhedron formulaA mathematical formula relating the vertices, edges and faces of a polyhedron: V-E+F=2
