Snub Polyhedra

Author: Jon Choate


The last Geometer's Corner showed how the cube can be transformed into several Archimedian Solids, which are shown in Figure 1. I have included the Truncated Octahedron, which belongs in the list since the Octahedron is the Dual of the Cube, and if you truncate an Octahedron to the midpoints of the sides you will get the Cuboctahedron.
