Triakis octahedron

The triakis octahedron, or tikko, is one of the 13 Catalan solids. It has 24 isosceles triangles as faces, with 6 order-8 and 8 order-3 vertices. It is the dual of the uniform truncated cube.

It can also be obtained as the convex hull of a cube and an octahedron, where the edges of the octahedron are $$\frac{2+\sqrt2}{2}$$ times the length of those of the cube. Using an octahedron that is any number more than $$\sqrt2$$ times the edge length of the cube gives a fully symmetric variant of this polyhedron.

Each face of this polyhedron is an isosceles triangle with lateral side lengths $$\frac{2+\sqrt2}{2}$$ times those of the base edges. These triangles have apex angle $$\arccos\left(\frac{1-2\sqrt2}{4}\right) ≈ 117.20057°$$ and base angles $$\arccos\left(\frac{2+\sqrt2}{4}\right) ≈ 31.39972°$$.
