Regular dodecahedron whereas a regular icosahedron has 20 faces and 12 vertices. Both have 30 edges. A cube can be embedded within a regular dodecahedron, affixed to eight of its equidistant vertices, in five different positions. In fact, five cubes may overlap and interlock inside the regular dodecahedron to result in the compound of five cubes. The ratio of the edge of a regular dodecahedron to the edge of a cube embedded inside such a regular dodecahedron is 1 : "ϕ", or ("ϕ" − 1) : 1. The ratio of a regular dodecahedron's volume to the volume of a cube embedded inside
Regular dodecahedron vertex arrangement with four nonconvex uniform polyhedra and three uniform polyhedron compounds. Five cubes fit within, with their edges as diagonals of the regular dodecahedron's faces, and together these make up the regular polyhedral compound of five cubes. Since two tetrahedra can fit on alternate cube vertices, five and ten tetrahedra can also fit in a regular dodecahedron. The 3 stellations of the regular dodecahedron are all regular (nonconvex) polyhedra: (Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra) The skeleton of the dodecahedron (the vertices and edges) form a graph. It is one of 5 Platonic graphs, each a skeleton of its Platonic solid. This graph
