Truncated dodecahedron Truncated dodecahedron In geometry, the truncated dodecahedron is an Archimedean solid. It has 12 regular decagonal faces, 20 regular triangular faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges. This polyhedron can be formed from a dodecahedron by truncating (cutting off) the corners so the pentagon faces become decagons and the corners become triangles. It is used in the cell-transitive hyperbolic space-filling tessellation, the bitruncated icosahedral honeycomb. The area "A" and the volume "V" of a truncated dodecahedron of edge length "a" are: Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a truncated dodecahedron with edge length 2"φ" − 2, centered at the origin, are
Rhombic dodecahedron the neighbouring faces: Luke describes four more stellations: the second and third stellations (expanding outwards), one formed by removing the second from the third, and another by adding the original rhombic dodecahedron back to the previous one. Great rhombic dodecahedron : 12 concave octagonal faces Great stellated rhombic dodecahedron : 12 concave dodecagonal faces The rhombic dodecahedron forms the hull of the vertex-first projection of a tesseract to three dimensions. There are exactly two ways of decomposing a rhombic dodecahedron into four congruent rhombohedra, giving eight possible rhombohedra as projections of the tesseracts 8 cubic cells.
