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 ...
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.
Rhombic triacontahedron V(3.5) 2 Johannes Kepler coined the category semiregular in his book Harmonices Mundi (1619), including the 13 Archimedean solids , two infinite families ( prisms and antiprisms on regular bases), and two edge-transitive Catalan solids , the rhombic dodecahedron and rhombic triacontahedron .
It is a stellation of the rhombic triacontahedron, and can also be called small stellated triacontahedron. Its dual is the dodecadodecahedron . Its 24 vertices are all on the 12 axes with 5-fold symmetry (i.e. each corresponds to one of the 12 vertices of the icosahedron ).
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.
