        A cuboctahedron is a solid between a cube and an octahedron. It has eight faces of an equilateral triangle and six faces of a square. If we start from cutting every corner of an octahedron having radius of 3 units until every face of an equilateral triangle became a quarter the area of the original equilateral triangle. We then get a cuboctahedron having volume equal to 27units.
