The square antiprism is a special case of an antiprism where the base is a square.
Geometry
- The planar cross-sections of a square antiprism in the [!z] plane are octagons, giving a regular octagon in the middle and degenerating to squares at the ends.
- The planar cross-sections of a square antiprism in the [!x] and [!y] planes are irregular pentagons, degenerating to trapeziums in the middle and at the ends.
