Composed of 22 faces: 12 regular triangles , 5 squares and 5 regular octagons . Among the octagonal faces, 1 is surrounded by four octagonal and four triangular, the remaining 4 - by three octagonal and five triangular; among the square faces 1 is surrounded by four square ones, the remaining 4 - square and three triangular; among triangular 4 faces are surrounded by three octagonal, 4 faces - two octagonal and square, the remaining 4 - octagonal and two square.
It has 48 edges of the same length. 8 edges are located between two octagonal faces, 24 edges - between the octagonal and triangular, 4 edges - between two square, the remaining 12 - between square and triangular.
The extended truncated cube has 28 vertices. At 16 vertices, two octagonal faces and one triangular converge; 8 vertices meet octagonal, square and two triangular faces; at 4 vertices, three square and triangular faces converge.
An extended truncated cube can be obtained from two polyhedra - a truncated cube and a four-sloping dome ( J 4 ) - by attaching them to each other with octagonal faces.

Metric
If an extended truncated cube has an edge of length , its surface area and volume are expressed as
In coordinates
The expanded truncated cube can be positioned in a Cartesian coordinate system so that its vertices have coordinates
In this case, the axis of symmetry of the polyhedron will coincide with the axis Oz, and two of the four planes of symmetry - with the planes xOz and yOz.
