3D model of a rhombic triacontahedron. The rhombic triacontahedron, sometimes simply called the triacontahedron as it is the most common thirty-faced polyhedron, is a convex polyhedron with 30 rhombic faces. It has 60 edges and 32 vertices of two types. It is a Catalan solid, and the dual polyhedron of the icosidodecahedron. It is a zonohedron.
Rhombic triacontahedron (Dual of icosidodecahedron) — V(3.5.3.5) arccos (- √ 5 +1 / 4 ) = 4 π / 5 144° Medial rhombic triacontahedron (Dual of dodecadodecahedron) — V(5. 5 / 2 .5. 5 / 2 ) arccos (- 1 / 2 ) = 2 π / 3 120° Great rhombic triacontahedron (Dual of great icosidodecahedron) — V(3 ...
Alternatively, if you expand each of five cubes by moving the faces away from the origin the right amount and rotating each of the five 72° around so they are equidistant from each other, without changing the orientation or size of the faces, and patch the pentagonal and triangular holes in the result, you get a rhombicosidodecahedron ...
The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body.
Four numbering schemes for the uniform polyhedra are in common use, distinguished by letters: [C] Coxeter et al., 1954, showed the convex forms as figures 15 through 32; three prismatic forms, figures 33–35; and the nonconvex forms, figures 36–92.

The rhombic hexecontahedron is a stellation of the rhombic triacontahedron. It is nonconvex with 60 golden rhombic faces with icosahedral symmetry. The rhombic enneacontahedron is a polyhedron composed of 90 rhombic faces, with three, five, or six rhombi meeting at each vertex. It has 60 broad rhombi and 30 slim ones.
