In geometry, a disdyakis dodecahedron, or hexakis octahedron, is a Catalan solid and the dual to the Archimedean truncated cuboctahedron. As such it is face-transitive but with irregular face polygons. It looks a bit like an inflated rhombic dodecahedron—if one replaces each face of the rhombic dodecahedron with a single vertex and four triangles in a regular fashion one ends up with a disdyakis dodecahedron. More formally, the disdyakis dodecahedron is the Kleetope of the rhombic dodecahedron.

Symmetry

It has O_h octahedral symmetry. Its collective edges represent the reflection planes of the symmetry.

Dimensions

If its smallest edges have length 1, its surface area is $\frac{6}{7}\sqrt{783+436\sqrt{2}}$ and its volume is $\frac{1}{7}\sqrt{3(2194+1513\sqrt{2})}$.
