The truncated icosahedron is an Archimedean solid, meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex. [5] It has the same symmetry as the regular icosahedron, the icosahedral symmetry , and it also has the property of vertex-transitivity .
Net The truncated triakis icosahedron , or more precisely an order-10 truncated triakis icosahedron , is a convex polyhedron with 72 faces: 10 sets of 3 pentagons arranged in an icosahedral arrangement, with 12 decagons in the gaps.
In geometry, the rectified truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron. It has 92 faces: 60 isosceles triangles , 12 regular pentagons , and 20 regular hexagons . It is constructed as a rectified , truncated icosahedron , rectification truncating vertices down to mid-edges.
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.
The pentakis truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron, adding pyramids to the 12 pentagonal faces, creating 60 new triangular faces. It is geometrically similar to the icosahedron where the 20 triangular faces are subdivided with a central hexagon, and 3 corner triangles.
The most familiar spherical polyhedron is the soccer ball, thought of as a spherical truncated icosahedron. The next most popular spherical polyhedron is the beach ball, thought of as a hosohedron. Some "improper" polyhedra, such as hosohedra and their duals, dihedra, exist as spherical polyhedra, but their flat-faced analogs are degenerate.

Three members of the set can be deltahedra, that is, constructed entirely of equilateral triangles: the gyroelongated square bipyramid, a Johnson solid; the icosahedron, a Platonic solid; and the gyroelongated triangular bipyramid if it is made with equilateral triangles, but because it has coplanar faces is not strictly convex.
