Truncated tetrahedral prism

In geometry, a truncated tetrahedral prism is a convex uniform polychoron (four-dimensional polytope). This polychoron has 10 polyhedral cells: 2 truncated tetrahedra connected by 4 triangular prisms and 4 hexagonal prisms. It has 24 faces: 8 triangular, 18 square, and 8 hexagons. It has 48 edges and 24 vertices.

gollark: I don't have one because they're expensive and I disagree with the entire concept of graphing calculators.
gollark: Some of the fancier graphing models' polynomial solver things go up to a degree of 6 for unfathomable reasons, but they are probably approximatizing.
gollark: Otherwise it would probably go up to quintics and such.
gollark: My calculator can solve quartics and I doubt it just approximates them.
gollark: As you can see, it burns.
