Heptadecahedron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A heptadecahedron (or heptakaidecahedron) is a polyhedron with 17 faces. No heptadecahedron is regular; hence, the name is ambiguous. There are numerous topologically distinct forms of a heptadecahedron, for example the hexadecagonal pyramid, pentadecahedron prism and heptagonal antiprism.

Convex

There are 6,415,851,530,241 topologically distinct convex heptadecahedra, excluding mirror images, having at least 11 vertices.^[1] (Two polyhedra are "topologically distinct" if they have intrinsically different arrangements of faces and vertices, such that it is impossible to distort one into the other simply by changing the lengths of edges or the angles between edges or faces.)
