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 dodecahedron the children's novel "The Phantom Tollbooth", the regular dodecahedron appears as a character in the land of Mathematics. Each of his faces wears a different expression – "e.g." happy, angry, sad – which he swivels to the front as required to match his mood. Dodecahedron is the name of an avant-garde black metal band from Netherlands. Various models have been proposed for the global geometry of the universe. In addition to the primitive geometries, these proposals include the Poincaré dodecahedral space, a positively curved space consisting of a regular dodecahedron whose opposite faces correspond (with a small twist).
