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,
Diminished rhombic dodecahedron 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 reduced to triangles. It has 13 vertices, 24 edges, and 13 faces. It has "C" symmetry, order 8. Like the rhombic dodecahedron, the long diagonal of each rhombic face is times the length of the short diagonal, so that the acute angles on each face measure arccos(), or approximately 70.53°. Like the dihedral symmetry pyramids, and elongated pyramids, it is self-dual, with
