Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron, adding pyramids to the 20 hexagonal faces, creating 120 new triangular faces. It is visually similar to the chiral snub dodecahedron which has 80 triangles and 12 pentagons. The dual polyhedron can be seen as a "hexatruncated pentakis dodecahedron", a dodecahedron with its faced augmented by pentagonal pyramids (a pentakis dodecahedron), and then its 6-valance vertices truncated. It has similar groups of irregular pentagons as the pentagonal hexecontahedron. Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron The hexapentakis truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron. It is geodesic polyhedron {3,5+}, with pentavalent vertices separated
Regular dodecahedron Shown here including the inner 12 vertices, which are not connected by the outer hull edges of 6D norm length , form a regular icosahedron. <br>The 3D projection basis vectors ["u","v","w"] used are: Regular dodecahedral objects have found some practical applications, and have also played a role in the visual arts and in philosophy. Iamblichus states that Hippasus, a Pythagorean, perished in the sea, because he boasted that he first divulged "the sphere with the twelve pentagons." In "Theaetetus", a dialogue of Plato, Plato was able to prove that there are just five uniform regular solids; these later became known
