What are Archimedean solids?
Archimedean solids are a group of 13 polyhedra named after Archimedes, who compared them to the Platonic solids. These solids are made by truncating or altering the Platonic solids, combining regular polygons to form semi-regular, yet highly symmetrical shapes. They have uniform vertices and identical faces arranged in the same order around each vertex.
