Tridyakis icosahedron

Template:Short description Template:Uniform polyhedra db File:Tridyakis icosahedron.stl In geometry, the tridyakis icosahedron is the dual polyhedron of the nonconvex uniform polyhedron, icositruncated dodecadodecahedron. It has 44 vertices, 180 edges, and 120 scalene triangular faces.

Proportions

The triangles have one angle of $\arccos (\frac{3}{5})\approx 53.13010235416^{\circ }$, one of $\arccos (\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{15}\sqrt{5})\approx 21.624633927143^{\circ }$ and one of $\arccos (\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{15}\sqrt{5})\approx 105.24526371870^{\circ }$. The dihedral angle equals $\arccos (-\frac{7}{8})\approx 151.04497562814^{\circ }$. Part of each triangle lies within the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.
