WHAT DOES RHOMBOHEDRON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rhombohedron

In geometry, a rhombohedron is a three-dimensional figure like a cube, except that its faces are not squares but rhombi. It is a special case of a parallelepiped where all edges are the same length. It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a honeycomb with rhombohedral cells. In general the rhombohedron can have three types of rhombic faces in congruent opposite pairs, Ci symmetry, order 2. Four points forming non-adjacent vertices of a rhombohedron necessarily form the four vertices of an orthocentric tetrahedron, and all orthocentric tetrahedra can be formed in this way.

Definition of rhombohedron in the English dictionary

The definition of rhombohedron in the dictionary is a six-sided prism whose sides are parallelograms.
