Dimensional Analogues and Metric Properties
The properties of polyhedra are derived from their bounding polygons. The dual of a polyhedron is formed by placing a vertex in the center of each face, and connecting these new vertices if the corresponding faces in the original solid share an edge. The dual of a cube is an octahedron, and vice versa.
The computation of surface area ($A$) is the sum of the areas of its constituent faces. For a face $i$, let $A_i$ be its area:
