In geometry, the triangular orthobicupola is one of the Johnson solids (''J''27). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by attaching two triangular cupolas (''J''3) along their bases. It has an equal number of squares and triangles at each vertex; however, it is not vertex-transitive. It is also called an ''anticuboctahedron'' or ''twisted cuboctahedron''. The ''triangular orthobicupola'' is the first in an infinite set of orthobicupolae. The ''triangular orthobicupola'' has a superficial resemblance to the cuboctahedron, which would be known as the ''triangular gyrobicupola'' in the nomenclature of Johnson solids — the difference is that the two triangular cupolas which make up the triangular orthobicupola are joined so that pairs of matching sides abut (hence, "ortho"); the cuboctahedron is joined so that triangles abut squares and vice versa. Given a triangular orthobicupola, a 60-degree rotation of one cupola before the joining yields a cuboctahedron. Hence, another name for the triangular orthobicupola is the ''anticuboctahedron''. The elongated triangular orthobicupola (''J''35), which is constructed by elongating this solid, has a (different) special relationship with the rhombicuboctahedron. The dual of the ''triangular orthobicupola'' is the trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron. It has 6 rhombic and 6 trapezoidal faces, and is similar to the rhombic dodecahedron. ==Formulae== The following formulae for volume, surface area, and circumradius can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length ''a'':〔Stephen Wolfram, "(Triangular orthobicupola )" from Wolfram Alpha. Retrieved July 23, 2010.〕 The circumradius of a triangular orthobicupola is the same as the edge length (C=a). 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「triangular orthobicupola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
