=== Uniform antiprism === A '''[[Prismatic uniform polyhedron|uniform]] {{mvar|n}}-antiprism''' has two [[Congruence (geometry)|congruent]] [[Regular polygon|''regular'']] {{mvar|n}}-gons as base faces, and {{math|2''n''}} [[Equilateral triangle|''equilateral'']] triangles as side faces. As do uniform prisms, the uniform antiprisms form an infinite class of vertex-transitive polyhedra. For {{math|''n'' {{=}} 2}}, one has the digonal antiprism (degenerate antiprism), which is visually identical to the regular [[tetrahedron]]; for {{math|''n'' {{=}} 3}}, the regular [[octahedron]] is a ''triangular antiprism'' (non-degenerate antiprism).<ref name=oh/> {{UniformAntiprisms}} The [[Schlegel diagram]]s of these semiregular antiprisms are as follows: {| class=wikitable |- align=center |[[File:Triangular antiprismatic graph.png|100px]]<BR>A3 |[[File:Square antiprismatic graph.png|100px]]<BR>A4 |[[File:Pentagonal antiprismatic graph.png|100px]]<BR>A5 |[[File:Hexagonal antiprismatic graph.png|100px]]<BR>A6 |[[File:Heptagonal antiprism graph.png|100px]]<BR>A7 |[[File:Octagonal antiprismatic graph.png|100px]]<BR>A8 |}
