The triangles {(t,t,T)} have vertex angles t = arccos[(2+sqrt(2))/4] = 31.399715° resp. T = arccos[-(2 sqrt(2)-1)/4] = 117.200570°.

Edge sizes used here are tT = x = 1 (short) resp. tt = a = (2+sqrt(2))/2 = 1.707107 (long).

This polyhedron also can be obtained as the hull of a central cube with 6 attached squippies.
