Regular dodecahedron dodecahedron forms an icosidodecahedron. The regular dodecahedron has icosahedral symmetry I, Coxeter group [5,3], order 120, with an abstract group structure of "A" × "Z". When a regular dodecahedron is inscribed in a sphere, it occupies more of the sphere's volume (66.49%) than an icosahedron inscribed in the same sphere (60.54%). A regular dodecahedron with edge length 1 has more than three and a half times the volume of an icosahedron with the same length edges (7.663... compared with 2.181...), which ratio is approximately , or in exact terms: or . A regular dodecahedron has 12 faces and 20 vertices,
Regular icosahedron 30 outer hull edges of 6D norm length . The inner vertices form an dodecahedron. <br>The 3D projection basis vectors [u,v,w] used are: There are 3 uniform colorings of the icosahedron. These colorings can be represented as 11213, 11212, 11111, naming the 5 triangular faces around each vertex by their color. The icosahedron can be considered a snub tetrahedron, as snubification of a regular tetrahedron gives a regular icosahedron having chiral tetrahedral symmetry. It can also be constructed as an alternated truncated octahedron, having pyritohedral symmetry. The pyritohedral symmetry version is sometimes called a pseudoicosahedron, and is dual to the
