(geometry) An Archimedean solid with eight triangular and eighteen square faces; the small rhombicuboctahedron..
Therefore eight triangles and eighteen (that is, twelve and six) squares join up to make an icosihexahedron, which I call a truncated cuboctahedral rhombus or a rhombicuboctahedron.
The gaps in a face-centered cubic packing of square sharing rhombicuboctahedra can be filled by cubes and tetrahedra (Fig. 2.4(h)).
So, for instance, covering up the right-hand side of our example (as in Figure 20.2(a)), we see that the rhombicuboctahedron does indeed have three types of face: two four-sided ones and one three-sided one.
Use rhombicuboctahedron when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
