>>Construction

The triaugmented triangular prism is a `F33f`_`[composite polyhedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Composite_polyhedron]`_`f, meaning it can be constructed by attaching `F33f`_`[equilateral square pyramids`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Equilateral_square_pyramid]`_`f to each of the three square faces of a `F33f`_`[triangular prism`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Triangular_prism]`_`f, a process called `F33f`_`[augmentation`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Augmentation_(geometry)]`_`f.`:cite-ref-timofeenko-2009-5-0[`F5bf`_`[5`#cite-note-timofeenko-2009-5]`_`f]`:cite-ref-trigg-6-0[`F5bf`_`[6`#cite-note-trigg-6]`_`f] These pyramids cover each square, replacing it with four `F33f`_`[equilateral triangles`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Equilateral_triangle]`_`f, so that the resulting polyhedron has 14 equilateral triangles as its faces. A polyhedron with only equilateral triangles as faces is called a `F33f`_`[deltahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Deltahedron]`_`f. There are only eight different `F33f`_`[convex`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Convex_set]`_`f deltahedra, one of which is the triaugmented triangular prism.`:cite-ref-fw47-7-0[`F5bf`_`[7`#cite-note-fw47-7]`_`f]`:cite-ref-cundy-8-0[`F5bf`_`[8`#cite-note-cundy-8]`_`f] More generally, the convex polyhedra in which all faces are `F33f`_`[regular polygons`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Regular_polygon]`_`f are called the `F33f`_`[Johnson solids`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Johnson_solid]`_`f, and every convex deltahedron is a Johnson solid. The triaugmented triangular prism is numbered among the Johnson solids as J 51 {\\displaystyle J_{51}} .`:cite-ref-francis-9-0[`F5bf`_`[9`#cite-note-francis-9]`_`f]

One possible system of `F33f`_`[Cartesian coordinates`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Cartesian_coordinates]`_`f for the vertices of a triaugmented triangular prism, giving it edge length 2, is:`:cite-ref-shdc-1-2[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-shdc-1]`_`f] ( 0 , 2 3 , ± ± 1 ) , ( ± ± 1 , − − 1 3 , ± ± 1 ) , ( 0 , − − 1 + 6 3 , 0 ) , ( ± ± 1 + 6 2 , 1 + 6 2 3 , 0 ) . {\\displaystyle {\\begin{aligned}\\left(0,{\\frac {2}{\\sqrt {3}}},\\pm 1\\right),\\qquad &\\left(\\pm 1,-{\\frac {1}{\\sqrt {3}}},\\pm 1\\right),\\\\\\left(0,-{\\frac {1+{\\sqrt {6}}}{\\sqrt {3}}},0\\right),\\qquad &\\left(\\pm {\\frac {1+{\\sqrt {6}}}{2}},{\\frac {1+{\\sqrt {6}}}{2{\\sqrt {3}}}},0\\right).\\\\\\end{aligned}}}

>>Properties

A triaugmented triangular prism with edge length a {\\displaystyle a} has surface area`:cite-ref-berman-10-0[`F5bf`_`[10`#cite-note-berman-10]`_`f] 7 3 2 a 2 ≈ ≈ 6.062 a 2 , {\\displaystyle {\\frac {7{\\sqrt {3}}}{2}}a^{2}\\approx 6.062a^{2},} the area of 14 equilateral triangles. Its volume,`:cite-ref-berman-10-1[`F5bf`_`[10`#cite-note-berman-10]`_`f] 2 2 + 3 4 a 3 ≈ ≈ 1.140 a 3 , {\\displaystyle {\\frac {2{\\sqrt {2}}+{\\sqrt {3}}}{4}}a^{3}\\approx 1.140a^{3},} can be derived by slicing it into a central prism and three square pyramids, and adding their volumes.`:cite-ref-berman-10-2[`F5bf`_`[10`#cite-note-berman-10]`_`f]

The triaugmented triangular prism has two types of `F33f`_`[closed geodesics`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Closed_geodesic]`_`f. These are paths on its surface that are locally straight: they avoid vertices of the polyhedron, follow line segments across the faces that they cross, and form `F33f`_`[complementary angles`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Complementary_angles]`_`f on the two incident faces of each edge that they cross. One of the two types of closed geodesic runs parallel to the square base of a pyramid, through the eight faces surrounding the pyramid. For a polyhedron with unit-length sides, this geodesic has length 4 {\\displaystyle 4} . The other type of closed geodesic crosses ten faces, and has length 19 ≈ ≈ 4.36 {\\displaystyle {\\sqrt {19}}\\approx 4.36} . For each type there is a continuous family of parallel geodesics, all of the same length.`:cite-ref-lptw-11-0[`F5bf`_`[11`#cite-note-lptw-11]`_`f]

The triaugmented triangular prism has the same `F33f`_`[three-dimensional symmetry group`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Point_groups_in_three_dimensions]`_`f as the triangular prism, the `F33f`_`[dihedral group`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Dihedral_group]`_`f D 3 h {\\displaystyle D_{3\\mathrm {h} }} of order twelve. Its `F33f`_`[dihedral angles`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Dihedral_angle]`_`f can be calculated by adding the angles of the component pyramids and prism. The prism itself has square-triangle dihedral angles π π / 2 {\\displaystyle \\pi /2} and square-square angles π π / 3 {\\displaystyle \\pi /3} . The triangle-triangle angles on the pyramid are the same as in the `F33f`_`[regular octahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Regular_octahedron]`_`f, and the square-triangle angles are half that. Therefore, for the triaugmented triangular prism, the dihedral angles incident to the degree-four vertices, on the edges of the prism triangles, and on the square-to-square prism edges are, respectively,`:cite-ref-johnson-12-0[`F5bf`_`[12`#cite-note-johnson-12]`_`f] arccos ⁡ ⁡ ( − − 1 3 ) ≈ ≈ 109.5 ∘ ∘ , π π 2 + 1 2 arccos ⁡ ⁡ ( − − 1 3 ) ≈ ≈ 144.7 ∘ ∘ , π π 3 + arccos ⁡ ⁡ ( − − 1 3 ) ≈ ≈ 169.5 ∘ ∘ . {\\displaystyle {\\begin{aligned}\\arccos \\left(-{\\frac {1}{3}}\\right)&\\approx 109.5^{\\circ },\\\\{\\frac {\\pi }{2}}+{\\frac {1}{2}}\\arccos \\left(-{\\frac {1}{3}}\\right)&\\approx 144.7^{\\circ },\\\\{\\frac {\\pi }{3}}+\\arccos \\left(-{\\frac {1}{3}}\\right)&\\approx 169.5^{\\circ }.\\\\\\end{aligned}}}

>>Fritsch graph

The graph of the triaugmented triangular prism has 9 vertices and 21 edges. It was used by `F33f`_`[Fritsch & Fritsch (1998)`#citereffritschfritsch1998]`_`f as a small counterexample to `F33f`_`[Alfred Kempe`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Alfred_Kempe]`_`f's false proof of the `F33f`_`[four color theorem`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Four_color_theorem]`_`f using `F33f`_`[Kempe chains`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Kempe_chain]`_`f, and its dual map was used as their book's cover illustration.`:cite-ref-ff98-13-0[`F5bf`_`[13`#cite-note-ff98-13]`_`f] Therefore, this graph has subsequently been named the `!Fritsch graph`!.`:cite-ref-involve-14-0[`F5bf`_`[14`#cite-note-involve-14]`_`f] An even smaller counterexample, called the Soifer graph, is obtained by removing one edge from the Fritsch graph (the bottom edge in the illustration here).`:cite-ref-involve-14-1[`F5bf`_`[14`#cite-note-involve-14]`_`f]`:cite-ref-soifer-15-0[`F5bf`_`[15`#cite-note-soifer-15]`_`f]

The Fritsch graph is one of only six connected graphs in which the `F33f`_`[neighborhood`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Neighbourhood_(graph_theory)]`_`f of every vertex is a cycle of length four or five. More generally, when every vertex in a graph has a cycle of length at least four as its neighborhood, the triangles of the graph automatically link up to form a `F33f`_`[topological surface`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Manifold]`_`f called a `F33f`_`[Whitney triangulation`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Triangulation_(topology)]`_`f. These six graphs come from the six Whitney triangulations that, when their triangles are equilateral, have positive `F33f`_`[angular defect`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Angular_defect]`_`f at every vertex. This makes them a combinatorial analogue of the positively curved smooth surfaces. They come from six of the eight deltahedra—excluding the two that have a vertex with a triangular neighborhood. As well as the Fritsch graph, the other five are the graphs of the `F33f`_`[regular octahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Regular_octahedron]`_`f, `F33f`_`[regular icosahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Regular_icosahedron]`_`f, `F33f`_`[pentagonal bipyramid`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Pentagonal_bipyramid]`_`f, `F33f`_`[snub disphenoid`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Snub_disphenoid]`_`f, and `F33f`_`[gyroelongated square bipyramid`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Gyroelongated_square_bipyramid]`_`f.`:cite-ref-knill-16-0[`F5bf`_`[16`#cite-note-knill-16]`_`f]

>>Dual associahedron

The `F33f`_`[dual polyhedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Dual_polyhedron]`_`f of the triaugmented triangular prism has a face for each vertex of the triaugmented triangular prism, and a vertex for each face. It is an `F33f`_`[enneahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Enneahedron]`_`f (that is, a nine-sided polyhedron)`:cite-ref-fr07-17-0[`F5bf`_`[17`#cite-note-fr07-17]`_`f] that can be realized with three non-adjacent `F33f`_`[square`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Square_(geometry)]`_`f faces, and six more faces that are congruent irregular `F33f`_`[pentagons`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Pentagon]`_`f.`:cite-ref-as18-18-0[`F5bf`_`[18`#cite-note-as18-18]`_`f] It is also known as an order-5 `F33f`_`[associahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Associahedron]`_`f, a polyhedron whose vertices represent the 14 triangulations of a `F33f`_`[regular hexagon`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Regular_hexagon]`_`f.`:cite-ref-fr07-17-1[`F5bf`_`[17`#cite-note-fr07-17]`_`f] A less-symmetric form of this dual polyhedron, obtained by slicing a `F33f`_`[truncated octahedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Truncated_octahedron]`_`f into four congruent quarters by two planes that perpendicularly bisect two parallel families of its edges, is a `F33f`_`[space-filling polyhedron`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Space-filling_polyhedron]`_`f.`:cite-ref-goldberg-19-0[`F5bf`_`[19`#cite-note-goldberg-19]`_`f]

More generally, when a polytope is the dual of an associahedron, its boundary (a `F33f`_`[simplicial complex`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Simplicial_complex]`_`f of triangles, tetrahedra, or higher-dimensional simplices) is called a "cluster complex". In the case of the triaugmented triangular prism, it is a cluster complex of type A 3 {\\displaystyle A_{3}} , associated with the A 3 {\\displaystyle A_{3}} `F33f`_`[Dynkin diagram`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Dynkin_diagram]`_`f , the A 3 {\\displaystyle A_{3}} `F33f`_`[root system`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Root_system]`_`f, and the A 3 {\\displaystyle A_{3}} `F33f`_`[cluster algebra`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Cluster_algebra]`_`f.`:cite-ref-bsw13-20-0[`F5bf`_`[20`#cite-note-bsw13-20]`_`f] The connection with the associahedron provides a correspondence between the nine vertices of the triaugmented triangular prism and the nine diagonals of a hexagon. The edges of the triaugmented triangular prism correspond to pairs of diagonals that do not cross, and the triangular faces of the triaugmented triangular prism correspond to the triangulations of the hexagon (consisting of three non-crossing diagonals). The triangulations of other regular polygons correspond to polytopes in the same way, with dimension equal to the number of sides of the polygon minus three.`:cite-ref-fr07-17-2[`F5bf`_`[17`#cite-note-fr07-17]`_`f]

>>Applications

In the geometry of `F33f`_`[chemical compounds`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Chemical_compound]`_`f, it is common to visualize an `F33f`_`[atom cluster`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Atom_cluster]`_`f surrounding a central atom as a polyhedron—the `F33f`_`[convex hull`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Convex_hull]`_`f of the surrounding atoms' locations.
