Small snub icosicosidodecahedron Small snub icosicosidodecahedron In geometry, the small snub icosicosidodecahedron or snub disicosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron, indexed as U. It has 112 faces (100 triangles and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices. Its stellation core is a truncated pentakis dodecahedron. It also called a holosnub icosahedron, ß{3,5}. The 40 non-snub triangular faces form 20 coplanar pairs, forming star hexagons that are not quite regular. Unlike most snub polyhedra, it has reflection symmetries. Its convex hull is a nonuniform truncated icosahedron. Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a small snub icosicosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of where ϕ
Pentakis dodecahedron buckminsterfullerene: each surface segment represents a carbon atom. Equivalently, a truncated icosahedron is a model of buckminsterfullerene, with each vertex representing a carbon atom. The "pentakis dodecahedron" is also a model of some icosahedrally symmetric viruses, such as Adeno-associated virus. These have 60 symmetry related capsid proteins, which combine to make the 60 symmetrical faces of a "pentakis dodecahedron". The pentakis dodecahedron has three symmetry positions, two on vertices, and one on a midedge: Pentakis dodecahedron In geometry, a pentakis dodecahedron or kisdodecahedron is a dodecahedron with a pentagonal pyramid covering each face; that is, it is the Kleetope of
