In geometry, the triangular hebesphenorotunda is a Johnson solid with 13 equilateral triangles, 3 squares, 3 regular pentagons, and 1 regular hexagon, meaning the total of its faces is 20.
The triangular hebesphenorotunda is named by Johnson (1966), with the prefix hebespheno- referring to a blunt wedge-like complex formed by three adjacent lunes—a figure where two equilateral triangles are attached at the opposite sides of a square.
The suffix (triangular) -rotunda refers to the complex of three equilateral triangles and three regular pentagons surrounding another equilateral triangle, which bears a structural resemblance to the pentagonal rotunda.
[1] Therefore, the triangular hebesphenorotunda has 20 faces: 13 equilateral triangles, 3 squares, 3 regular pentagons, and 1 regular hexagon.
[2] The faces are all regular polygons, categorizing the triangular hebesphenorotunda as a Johnson solid, enumerated the last one
[3] It is an elementary polyhedron, meaning that it cannot be separated by a plane into two small regular-faced polyhedra.
