Tridecahedron

There are 96,262,938 topologically distinct convex tridecahedra, excluding mirror images, having at least 9 vertices.^[2] (Two polyhedra are "topologically distinct" if they have intrinsically different arrangements of faces and vertices, such that it is impossible to distort one into the other simply by changing the lengths of edges or the angles between edges or faces.) There is a pseudo-space-filling tridecahedron that can fill all of 3-space together with its mirror-image.^[3]

A hendecagonal prism is a prism with a hendecagon base. It is a type of tridecahedron, which consists of 13 faces, 22 vertices, and 33 sides. A regular hendecagonal prism is a hendecagonal prism whose faces are regular hendecagons, and each of its vertices is a common vertex of 2 squares and 1 hendecagon. In a vertex figure a hendecagonal prism is represented by ${\displaystyle 4{.}4{.}11}$ ; in Schläfly notation it can be represented by {11}×{} or t{2, 11}; can be used in a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram to represent it; its Wythoff symbol is 2 11 | 2; in Conway polyhedron notation it can be represented by P11. If the side length of the base of a regular hendecagonal prism is ${\displaystyle s}$ and the height is ${\displaystyle h}$ , then its volume ${\displaystyle V}$ and surface area ${\displaystyle S}$ are:^[4]

${\displaystyle V={\frac {11hs^{2}\cot {\frac {\pi }{11}}}{4}}\approx 9.36564hs^{2}}$

${\displaystyle S=11s\left(h+{\frac {1}{2}}s\cot {\frac {\pi }{11}}\right)\approx 11s\left(h+1.70284s\right)}$

A dodecagonal pyramid is a pyramid with a dodecagonal base. It is a type of tridecahedron, which has 13 faces, 24 edges, and 13 vertices, and its dual polyhedron is itself.^[5] A regular dodecagonal pyramid is a dodecagonal pyramid whose base is a regular dodecagon. If the side length of the base of a regular twelve-sided pyramid is ${\displaystyle s}$ and the height is ${\displaystyle h}$ , then its volume ${\displaystyle V}$ and surface area ${\displaystyle S}$ are:^[5]

${\displaystyle V=\left(2+{\sqrt {3}}\right)hs^{2}\approx 3.73205hs^{2}}$

${\displaystyle S=3s\left({\sqrt {4h^{2}+\left(7+4{\sqrt {3}}\right)s^{2}}}+\left(2+{\sqrt {3}}\right)s\right)\approx 3s\left({\sqrt {4h^{2}+13.9282s^{2}}}+3.73205s\right)}$

A space-filling tridecahedron^[6][7] is a tridecahedron that can completely fill three-dimensional space without leaving gaps. It has 13 faces, 30 edges, and 19 vertices. Among the thirteen faces, there are six trapezoids, six pentagons and one regular hexagon.^[8]

Dual polyhedron

The polyhedron's dual polyhedron is an enneadecahedron. It is similar to a twisted half-cube, but one of its vertices is treated as a face before twisting.
