Small snub icosicosidodecahedron = (1+)/2 is the golden ratio and α = . Small snub icosicosidodecahedron In geometry, the small snub icosicosidodecahedron or snub disicosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron, indexed as U. It has 112 faces (100 triangles and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices. Its stellation core is a truncated pentakis dodecahedron. It also called a holosnub icosahedron, ß{3,5}. The 40 non-snub triangular faces form 20 coplanar pairs, forming star hexagons that are not quite regular. Unlike most snub polyhedra, it has reflection symmetries. Its convex hull is a nonuniform truncated icosahedron. Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a small
Regular dodecahedron dodecahedra were made and have been found in various Roman ruins in Europe. Their purpose is not certain. In 20th-century art, dodecahedra appear in the work of M. C. Escher, such as his lithographs "Reptiles" (1943) and "Gravitation" (1952). In Salvador Dalí's painting "The Sacrament of the Last Supper" (1955), the room is a hollow regular dodecahedron. Gerard Caris based his entire artistic oeuvre on the regular dodecahedron and the pentagon, which is presented as a new art movement coined as Pentagonism. In modern role-playing games, the regular dodecahedron is often used as a twelve-sided die, one of the more
