  2. Regular icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_icosahedron

    A polyhedron with only equilateral triangles as faces is called a deltahedron. There are only eight different convex deltahedra, one of which is the regular icosahedron. [4] The regular icosahedron can also be constructed starting from a regular octahedron. All triangular faces of a regular octahedron are breaking, twisting at a certain angle ...

  3. Truncated icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron

    The surface area and the volume of the truncated icosahedron of edge length are: [2] = (+ +) = +. The sphericity of a polyhedron describes how closely a polyhedron resembles a sphere. It can be defined as the ratio of the surface area of a sphere with the same volume to the polyhedron's surface area, from which the value is between 0 and 1.

  4. Icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron

    A regular icosahedron can be distorted or marked up as a lower pyritohedral symmetry, [2] [3] and is called a snub octahedron, snub tetratetrahedron, snub tetrahedron, and pseudo-icosahedron. [4] This can be seen as an alternated truncated octahedron .

  5. Truncated icosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosidodecahedron

    Of all vertex-transitive polyhedra, it occupies the largest percentage (89.80%) of the volume of a sphere in which it is inscribed, very narrowly beating the snub dodecahedron (89.63%) and small rhombicosidodecahedron (89.23%), and less narrowly beating the truncated icosahedron (86.74%); it also has by far the greatest volume (206.8 cubic ...

  6. Icosahedral symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedral_symmetry

    Every polyhedron with icosahedral symmetry has 60 rotational (or orientation-preserving) symmetries and 60 orientation-reversing symmetries (that combine a rotation and a reflection), for a total symmetry order of 120. The full symmetry group is the Coxeter group of type H 3. It may be represented by Coxeter notation [5,3] and Coxeter diagram.

  7. Rhombic triacontahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_triacontahedron

    Let φ be the golden ratio.The 12 points given by (0, ±1, ±φ) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates are the vertices of a regular icosahedron.Its dual regular dodecahedron, whose edges intersect those of the icosahedron at right angles, has as vertices the 8 points (±1, ±1, ±1) together with the 12 points (0, ±φ, ± ⁠ 1 / φ ⁠) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates.

  8. Platonic solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

    In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space.Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are congruent (identical in shape and size) regular polygons (all angles congruent and all edges congruent), and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.

  9. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    This polyhedron is topologically related as a part of a sequence of cantellated polyhedra with vertex figure (3.4.n.4), which continues as tilings of the hyperbolic plane. These vertex-transitive figures have (*n32) reflectional symmetry .
