Description

The rhombitruncated cube is one of the thirteen Archimedean solids.

The rhombitruncated cube has 48 vertices, 26 faces and 72 edges. It is generated by truncating the vertices and edges of a cube or of an octahedron. Here the distance from vertex to center point is scaled to 1; the edge-length is 2sqrt((13-6sqrt(2))/97) . Every vertex has one coordinate with the absolute value sqrt((13-6sqrt(2))/97) , one coordinate with the absolute value sqrt((15+8sqrt(2))/97) and one coordinate with the absolute value sqrt((69-2sqrt(2))/97).
