Feel free to surf to my site - online psychic; mouse click for source, In geometry, the truncated dodecahedron is an Archimedean solid. It has 12 regular decagonal faces, 20 regular triangular faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges.

Geometric relations

This polyhedron can be formed from a dodecahedron by truncating (cutting off) the corners so the pentagon faces become decagons and the corners become triangles.

It is used in the cell-transitive hyperbolic space-filling tessellation, the bitruncated icosahedral honeycomb.

Area and volume

The area A and the volume V of a truncated dodecahedron of edge length a are:

$A=5\left({\sqrt {3}}+6{\sqrt {5+2{\sqrt {5}}}}\right)a^{2}\approx 100.99076a^{2}$

$V={\frac {5}{12}}\left(99+47{\sqrt {5}}\right)a^{3}\approx 85.0396646a^{3}$

Cartesian coordinates

The following Cartesian coordinates define the vertices of a truncated dodecahedron with edge length 2(τ−1), centered at the origin:

(0, ±1/τ, ±(2+τ))

(±(2+τ), 0, ±1/τ)

(±1/τ, ±(2+τ), 0)

(±1/τ, ±τ, ±2τ)

(±2τ, ±1/τ, ±τ)

(±τ, ±2τ, ±1/τ)

(±τ, ±2, ±τ²)

(±τ², ±τ, ±2)

(±2, ±τ², ±τ)

where τ = (1 + √5) / 2 is the golden ratio (also written φ).

Orthogonal projections

The truncated dodecahedron has five special orthogonal projections, centered, on a vertex, on two types of edges, and two types of faces: hexagonal and pentagonal. The last two correspond to the A₂ and H₂ Coxeter planes.

Vertex arrangement

It shares its vertex arrangement with three nonconvex uniform polyhedra:

Truncated dodecahedron

Great icosicosidodecahedron

Great ditrigonal dodecicosidodecahedron

Great dodecicosahedron

It is part of a truncation process between a dodecahedron and icosahedron: Template:Icosahedral truncations

This polyhedron is topologically related as a part of sequence of uniform truncated polyhedra with vertex configurations (3.2n.2n), and [n,3] Coxeter group symmetry.
