notes: label: Description
content: This tan cut and folded paper model has as its underlying structure a rhombicuboctahedron. The top and bottom underlying square both have square pyramids on them (hence contributing 8 triangular faces to the model). The underlying upper and lower layers have four squares and four triangles – over each square are two triangles and two trapezonds (contributing 8 more triangles and 8 trapezoids on each layer) and over each triangle a triangular pyramid (12 triangles for each layer). The middle layer has four square pyramids and four figures with two trapezoids and two triangles (20 more triangles and 8 more trapezoids). This creates a model with 72 triangular faces and 24 trapezoidal faces, with a total of 96 faces.
