===In higher dimensions=== Four-dimensional antiprisms can be defined as having two [[dual polyhedra]] as parallel opposite faces, so that each [[Cell (geometry)|three-dimensional face]] between them comes from two dual parts of the polyhedra: a vertex and a dual polygon, or two dual edges. Every three-dimensional convex polyhedron is combinatorially equivalent to one of the two opposite faces of a four-dimensional antiprism, constructed from its [[canonical polyhedron]] and its polar dual.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Grünbaum | first = Branko | author-link = Branko Grünbaum | issue = 2 | journal = Geombinatorics | mr = 2298896 | pages = 69–78 | title = Are prisms and antiprisms really boring?
