In geometry, the truncated tetrahexagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. There are one square, one decagon, and one dodecagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of t0,1,2{6,5}. Its name is somewhat misleading: literal geometric truncation of pentahexagonal tiling produces rectangles instead of squares.

Dual tiling

The dual tiling is called an order-5-6 kisrhombille tiling, made as a complete bisection of the order-5 hexagonal tiling, here with triangles shown in alternating colors. This tiling represents the fundamental triangular domains of [6,5] (*652) symmetry.

Symmetry

There are four small index subgroup from [6,5] by mirror removal and alternation. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors.

Related polyhedra and tilings

From a Wythoff construction there are fourteen hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular order-5 hexagonal tiling.

Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 7 forms with full [6,5] symmetry, and 3 with subsymmetry.
