Regular icosahedron Regular icosahedron In geometry, a regular icosahedron ( or ) is a convex polyhedron with 20 faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, and the one with the most sides. It has five equilateral triangular faces meeting at each vertex. It is represented by its Schläfli symbol {3,5}, or sometimes by its vertex figure as 3.3.3.3.3 or 3. It is the dual of the dodecahedron, which is represented by {5,3}, having three pentagonal faces around each vertex. A regular icosahedron is a gyroelongated pentagonal bipyramid and a biaugmented pentagonal antiprism in any of
Trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron optimal way to stack spheres. As the Voronoi cell of a regular space pattern, it is a plesiohedron. It is the polyhedral dual of the triangular orthobicupola. The "trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron" can be seen as an elongation of another dodecahedron, which can be called a rhombo-triangular dodecahedron, with 6 rhombi (or squares) and 6 triangles. It also has d symmetry and is space-filling. It has 21 edges and 11 vertices. With square faces it can be seen as a cube split across the 3-fold axis, separated with the two halves rotated 180 degrees, and filling the gaps with triangles. When used
