Regular dodecahedron Regular dodecahedron A regular dodecahedron or pentagonal dodecahedron is a dodecahedron that is regular, which is composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces, three meeting at each vertex. It is one of the five Platonic solids. It has 12 faces, 20 vertices, 30 edges, and 160 diagonals (60 face diagonals, 100 space diagonals). It is represented by the Schläfli symbol {5,3}. If the edge length of a regular dodecahedron is "a", the radius of a circumscribed sphere (one that touches the regular dodecahedron at all vertices) is and the radius of an inscribed sphere (tangent to each of the regular dodecahedron's
Pentakis snub dodecahedron Pentakis snub dodecahedron The pentakis snub dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 140 triangular faces, 210 edges, and 72 vertices. It has chiral icosahedral symmetry. Its name comes from a topological construction from the snub dodecahedron with the kis operator applied to the pentagonal faces. In this construction, all the vertices are computed to be the same distance from the center. The 80 of the triangles are equilateral, and 60 triangles from the pentagons are isosceles. It is a (2,1) geodesic polyhedron, made of all triangles. The path between the valence-5 vertices is two edges in a row, and then
