Description

This video focuses on antiprisms, with One World Trade Center serving as a striking example. An antiprism is a polyhedron with two congruent polygonal bases rotated relative to each other and triangular sides connecting them. Key vocabulary includes antiprism, square base, triangular sides, and octagon. The geometry of the Freedom Tower is discussed, including its octagonal slices and symbolic height of 1776 feet. Applications highlight the dual role of the building as both an office space and a monument, emphasizing how its antiprism structure represents unity and homage to the Twin Towers.
