The triangles {(t,T,T)} have vertex angles t = arccos(7/8) = 28.955024° resp. T = arccos(1/4) = 75.522488°.

Note that the term hexagonal dipyramid in general says nothing about the relative ratio of the edge sizes. Here the edge ratio is chosen such as to match their duality to the hexagonal prism.
