The triakis tetrahedron is the dual of the truncated tetrahedron.
The trigonal pyramids are all regular tetrahedrons, whose bases correspond to the midpoints of the edges of the octahedron.
The dual of the triakis icosahedron is the truncated dodecahedron but neither the centroids of the former nor the centroids of the latter are capable of generating their duals.

Canonical coordinates for the vertices of a truncated tetrahedron centered at the origin are (±3, ±1, ±1), (±1, ±3, ±1), (±1, ±1, ±3), where the ± has the same parity for each coordinate, that is, all coordinates have an even number of minuses (or all have an odd number).

Six kinds of primitive forms were distinguished, namely, the cube, the regular octahedron, the regular tetrahedron, a rhombohedron, an octahedron with a rhombic base, and a double six-sided pyramid.
An octahedron thus consists of eight similar faces, and a cube is bounded by six faces all of which have the same surface characters, and parallel to each of which all the properties of the crystal are identical.
Six of the simple forms, the cube, tetrahedron, rhombic dodecahedron, deltoid dodecahedron, triakis-tetrahedron and pentagonal dodecahedron, are geometrically the same in thi class as in either the tetrahedral or pyritohedral classes.

 Octahedron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Thus the volume is four times that of a regular tetrahedron with the same edge length, while the surface area is twice (because we have 8 vs. 4 triangles).
The interior of the compound of two dual tetrahedra is an octahedron, and this compound, called the stella octangula, is its first and only stellation.
The vertices of the octahedron lie at the midpoints of the edges of the tetrahedron, and in this sense it relates to the tetrahedron in the same way that the cuboctahedron and icosidodecahedron relate to the other Platonic solids.

 Triakis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I am a grade 8 teacher and have come across the term "Triakis" used with Tetrahedron, octahedron, and hexahedron.
names of solids derived respectively from the icosahedron, octahedron, and tetrahedron by erecting a triangular pyramid on each face, thus multiplying the original number of faces by three.
Something interesting that I found when seraching for the word triakis is that the Leopard Shark is Triakis semifasciata The name makes me wonder if its teeth are in the shape of triangular pyramids.

 Polyhedron, Polyhedra, Polytopes, ... - Numericana
The dihedral angle between a pair of faces is supplementary to that angle; its cosine is 1/3 and its value is about 70.52878° (this may be called a cubic angle, for a reason which follows).
The most "generic" way is to use for polyhedra the same naming scheme as for polygons, by counting the number or their faces: Thus, a tetrahedron has 4 faces, a pentahedron has 5, a dotriacontahedron (also called triacontakaidihedron) has 32 faces.
Based on this 2-D case [and, to a lesser extent, on the 3-D case] it would seem that such an inner ball [disk, sphere, or n-dimensional hypersphere] would always be small enough to fit inside the simplex [equilateral triangle, regular tetrahedron, n-dimensional regular simplex] formed by the centers of the congruent balls.

 Dodecahedra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Another is the triakis tetrahedron, but it would also be odd to call it any kind of dodecahedron and obscure the fact that it is an Archimedean dual.
It has tetrahedral symmetry with six mirror planes, and can be derived from the tetrahedron by dividing the triangles into thirds and then puffing it out a bit.
There are many possibilities here, but some very interesting ones are the tetrahedral stellations of the dodecahedron and the little-known, yet quite beautiful, stellations of the triakis tetrahedron.

For example, a regular tetrahedron may be obtained as a partial faceting of a cube.
Thus, for example, the vertex figure of the demicube is a rectified triangle, which is a smaller triangle, the vertex figure of a tetrahedron (the demicube).
The vertex figure of the demitesseract is a rectified tetrahedron, which is an octahedron, the vertex figure of a regular hexadecachoron (the demitesseract).
