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
Chamfer (geometry) tritruncated rhombic dodecahedron, a truncation of the order-3 vertices of the rhombic dodecahedron. The 8 vertices are truncated such that all edges are equal length. The original 12 rhombic faces become flattened hexagons, and the truncated vertices become triangles. The hexagonal faces are equilateral but not regular. The chamfered dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 80 vertices, 120 edges, and 42 faces: 30 hexagons and 12 pentagons. It is constructed as a chamfer of a regular dodecahedron. The pentagons are reduced in size and new hexagonal faces are added in place of all the original edges. Its dual is the
