  2. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    A cube can be inscribed in a regular dodecahedron, with some of the diagonals of the pentagonal faces of the dodecahedron serving as the cube's edges; therefore, the edge lengths are in the golden ratio. The cube's volume is ⁠ / (+) ⁠ times that of the dodecahedron's. [63]

  3. Regular icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_icosahedron

    Three mutually perpendicular golden ratio rectangles, with edges connecting their corners, form a regular icosahedron. Another way to construct it is by putting two points on each surface of a cube. In each face, draw a segment line between the midpoints of two opposite edges and locate two points with the golden ratio distance from each midpoint.

  4. Rhombic triacontahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_triacontahedron

    This animation shows a transformation from a cube to a rhombic triacontahedron by dividing the square faces into 4 squares and splitting middle edges into new rhombic faces. The ratio of the long diagonal to the short diagonal of each face is exactly equal to the golden ratio , φ , so that the acute angles on each face measure 2 arctan ( ⁠ 1 ...

  5. Icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron

    Three interlocking golden rectangles inscribed in a con­vex regular icosahedron. The convex regular icosahedron is usually referred to simply as the regular icosahedron, one of the five regular Platonic solids, and is represented by its Schläfli symbol {3, 5}, containing 20 triangular faces, with 5 faces meeting around each vertex.

  8. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    where φ = ⁠ 1 + √ 5 / 2 ⁠ is the golden ratio. Therefore, the circumradius of this rhombicosidodecahedron is the common distance of these points from the origin, namely √ φ 6 +2 = √ 8φ+7 for edge length 2. For unit edge length, R must be halved, giving R = ⁠ √ 8φ+7 / 2 ⁠ = ⁠ √ 11+4 √ 5 / 2 ⁠ ≈ 2.233.

  9. Regular dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_dodecahedron

    Apollonius of Perga discovered the curious result that the ratio of volumes of these two shapes is the same as the ratio of their surface areas. [12] Both volumes have formulas involving the golden ratio but are taken to different powers. [1] Golden rectangle may also related to both regular icosahedron and regular dodecahedron. The regular ...
