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
Diminished rhombic dodecahedron a cuboctahedron. It retains 5 square faces, and 4 equilateral triangle faces of the cuboctahedron. The 13 Cartesian coordinate can be positioned as: Augmenting two opposite squares will create a dihedral rhombic dodecahedron, doubling the symmetry to "D" symmetry, order 16. Augmenting pyramids on all six square faces, with merged faces will produce a regular octahedron, restoring full octahedral symmetry, order 48. Diminished rhombic dodecahedron In geometry, a diminished rhombic dodecahedron is a rhombic dodecahedron with one or more vertices removed. This article describes diminishing one 4-valence vertex. This diminishment creates one new square face while 4 rhombic faces are
