Regular icosahedron Regular icosahedron In geometry, a regular icosahedron ( or ) is a convex polyhedron with 20 faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, and the one with the most sides. It has five equilateral triangular faces meeting at each vertex. It is represented by its Schläfli symbol {3,5}, or sometimes by its vertex figure as 3.3.3.3.3 or 3. It is the dual of the dodecahedron, which is represented by {5,3}, having three pentagonal faces around each vertex. A regular icosahedron is a gyroelongated pentagonal bipyramid and a biaugmented pentagonal antiprism in any of
Regular dodecahedron ratio rectangles of ratio ("ϕ" + 1) : 1 and "ϕ" : 1 also fit perfectly within a regular dodecahedron. In proportion to this golden rectangle, an enclosed cube's edge is "ϕ", when the long length of the rectangle is "ϕ" + 1 (or "ϕ") and the short length is 1 (the edge shared with the regular dodecahedron). In addition, the center of each face of the regular dodecahedron form three intersecting golden rectangles. It can be projected to 3D from the 6-dimensional 6-demicube using the same basis vectors that form the hull of the rhombic triacontahedron from the 6-cube.
