tetrakaidecagonal

The tetrakaidecagonal prism is a three-dimensional figure in geometry that is made up of two regular tetrakaidecagons, one above the other, connected by a series of square faces. A tetrakaidecagon is a 14-sided polygon, and in this case, the two tetrakaidecagons are regular, meaning that all of their sides and angles are equal.

The tetrakaidecagonal prism is a type of prism, which is a polyhedron that is formed by connecting two or more polygons, each of the same size and orientation, with a series of rectangles. The height of the tetrakaidecagonal prism is equal to the height of the tetrakaidecagons that make it up.

Geometric properties of the tetrakaidecagonal prism include its Schläfli symbol, which is {14}, and its vertex configuration, which is 14.62. The faces of the prism are made up of 2 tetrakaidecagons and 14 squares.

Symbolism and applications of the tetrakaidecagonal prism are found in various fields. It can be seen in a broader mathematical sense as a part of the projective geometry of the hyperbolic plane. It was discovered and used by Friedrich Weber, an Austrian mathematician who contributed significantly to the developments in higher symmetry group.
