In geometry, a hemipolyhedron is a uniform star polyhedron some of whose faces pass through its center. These "hemi" faces lie parallel to the faces of some other symmetrical polyhedron, and their count is half the number of faces of that other polyhedron - hence the "hemi" prefix.〔 The prefix "hemi" is also used to refer to certain projective polyhedra, such as the hemi-cube, which are the image of a 2 to 1 map of a spherical polyhedron with central symmetry. == Wythoff symbol and vertex figure == Their Wythoff symbols are of the form ''p''/(''p'' − ''q'') ''p''/''q'' | ''r''; their vertex figures are crossed quadrilaterals. They are thus related to the cantellated polyhedra, which have similar Wythoff symbols. The vertex configuration is ''p''/''q''.2''r''.''p''/(''p'' − ''q'').2''r''. The 2''r''-gon faces pass through the center of the model: if represented as faces of spherical polyhedra, they cover an entire hemisphere and their edges and vertices lie along a great circle. The ''p''/(''p'' − q) notation implies a face turning backwards around the vertex figure. The nine forms, listed with their Wythoff symbols and vertex configurations are: Note that Wythoff's kaleidoscopic construction generates the nonorientable hemipolyhedra (all except the octahemioctahedron) as double covers (two coincident hemipolyhedra). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hemipolyhedron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
