Vertex figure
4.4.12In geometry, the dodecagonal prism is the tenth in an infinite set of prisms, formed by square sides and two regular dodecagon caps.
If faces are all regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron.
Use
It is used in the construction of two prismatic uniform honeycombs:
Omnitruncated triangular-hexagonal prismatic honeycomb
Truncated hexagonal prismatic honeycomb
