  1. not comparableHaving some regular characteristics.
  2. not comparablegeometryThat is semiregular with regular faces of precisely two types that alternate around each vertex.

    There are two quasiregular polyhedra not having identical regular faces: the cuboctahedron (dymaxion) and the icosidodecahedron.

    The lattice points that lie in this plane are the vertices of the regular tessellation {3, 4} of equilateral triangles, and the other points just mentioned are the vertices of the quasiregular tessellation #92;begin#123;Bmatrix#125;3#92;#92;4#92;end#123;Bmatrix#125; of triangles and hexagons [9, p. 60].

    Two semiregular polyhedra are classified as so-called quasiregular polyhedra. They have two kinds of faces, and each face of one kind is entirely surrounded by faces of the other kind.
