Platonic Solids Part 5: Cube and octahedron
You may recall from the first article in this series (Platonic Solids Part 1: What are the Platonic solids?) that each platonic solid has a dual. The cube and octahedron are duals of each other. To make a dual from … Continue reading

Platonic Solids Part 4: The octahedron
Finding the Octahedron’s Vertices A platonic octahedron has six triangular faces. Because the edges of the triangles all have the same length, the triangles are equilateral triangles. If an equilateral triangle has edges of length 1, then its height is … Continue reading

Platonic Solids Part 3: The cube
A platonic cube has six square faces. The cube’s symmetry makes it easy to find the coordinates of its vertices. For a cube with edge lengths of 1, the vertex coordinates are (±0.5, ±0.5, ±0.5) as shown in Figure 1. … Continue reading

Platonic Solids Part 2: The tetrahedron
A tetrahedron has four faces that are equilateral triangles. In an equilateral triangle, the sides have the same lengths and they meet at 60 degree angles. Figure 1 shows a tetrahedron. Finding the Tetrahedron’s Vertices It is a trigonometric fact … Continue reading
