1. Rhombohedron

   In geometry, a rhombohedron (also called a rhombic hexahedron or, inaccurately, a rhomboid) is a three-dimensional figure with six faces which are rhombi. It is a special case of a parallelepiped where all edges are the same length. It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a honeycomb with rhombohedral cells. A cube is a special case of a rhombohedron with all sides square. In general a rhombohedron can have up to three types of rhombic faces in congruent opposite pairs, Ci symmetry, order 2. Four points forming non-adjacent vertices of a rhombohedron necessarily form the four vertices of an orthocentric tetrahedron, and all orthocentric tetrahedra can be formed in this way.

1. rhombohedron

   A rhombohedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure, or polyhedron, with all sides being rhombuses. In other words, it is a parallelepiped with equal edges and oblique angles. Essentially, it is the three-dimensional analogue of a rhombus.

1. Rhombohedron

   In geometry, a rhombohedron is a three-dimensional figure like a cube, except that its faces are not squares but rhombi. It is a special case of a parallelepiped where all edges are the same length. In general the rhombohedron can have three types of rhomboid faces in congruent opposite pairs. If all of the non-obtuse internal angles of the faces are equal, it can be called a trigonal trapezohedron. Another special case is that, where there is a plane of symmetry through four vertices, and a special case of that, where there is another plane of symmetry through the other four vertices. The cube combines these special properties, and so is a special case of the rhombohedron. A less symmetric example is a rhombic prism, constructed by two rhombi and 4 squares, with D2h symmetry. The rhombohedral lattice system has rhombohedral cells, with 3 pairs of unique rhombic faces:
