The Archimedean Prisms
The infiniate set of semi-regular prisms.
These are regular-based prisms with square sides. For n
{3,5,6,7,8,...} we obtain
a semi-regular prism whose base is a regular n-gon.
For n = 4 we obtain the regular
cube. In these prisms, two squares and an n-gon
meet at each vertex.
