Regular dodecahedron an edge length of one unit has the properties: The "regular dodecahedron " has two special orthogonal projections, centered, on vertices and pentagonal faces, correspond to the A and H Coxeter planes. In perspective projection, viewed above a pentagonal face, the regular dodecahedron can be seen as a linear-edged Schlegel diagram, or stereographic projection as a spherical polyhedron. These projections are also used in showing the four-dimensional 120-cell, a regular 4-dimensional polytope, constructed from 120 dodecahedra, projecting it down to 3-dimensions. The regular dodecahedron can also be represented as a spherical tiling. The following Cartesian coordinates define the 20 vertices
Regular dodecahedron vertex arrangement with four nonconvex uniform polyhedra and three uniform polyhedron compounds. Five cubes fit within, with their edges as diagonals of the regular dodecahedron's faces, and together these make up the regular polyhedral compound of five cubes. Since two tetrahedra can fit on alternate cube vertices, five and ten tetrahedra can also fit in a regular dodecahedron. The 3 stellations of the regular dodecahedron are all regular (nonconvex) polyhedra: (Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra) The skeleton of the dodecahedron (the vertices and edges) form a graph. It is one of 5 Platonic graphs, each a skeleton of its Platonic solid. This graph
