The regular dodecahedron is a polyhedron with twelve pentagonal faces, thirty edges, and twenty vertices. [1] It is one of the Platonic solids, a set of polyhedrons in which the faces are regular polygons that are congruent and the same number of faces meet at a vertex. [2] This set of polyhedrons is named after Plato.
In geometry, a dodecahedron (from Ancient Greek δωδεκάεδρον (dōdekáedron); from δώδεκα (dṓdeka) 'twelve' and ἕδρα (hédra) 'base, seat, face') or duodecahedron [1] is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid.
In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces. It has 24 edges, and 14 vertices of 2 types. As a Catalan solid, it is the dual polyhedron of the cuboctahedron. As a parallelohedron, the rhombic dodecahedron can be used to tesselate its copies in space creating a rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb.
In the mathematical field of graph theory, a rhombicosidodecahedral graph is the graph of vertices and edges of the rhombicosidodecahedron, one of the Archimedean solids. It has 60 vertices and 120 edges, and is a quartic graph Archimedean graph. [5] Square centered Schlegel diagram
The dodecadodecahedron is a rectification, where edges are truncated down to points. The truncated small stellated dodecahedron can be considered a degenerate uniform polyhedron since edges and vertices coincide, but it is included for completeness. Visually, it looks like a regular dodecahedron on the surface, but it has 24 faces in ...
The polyhedral graph formed as the Schlegel diagram of a regular dodecahedron. In geometric graph theory, a branch of mathematics, a polyhedral graph is the undirected graph formed from the vertices and edges of a convex polyhedron. Alternatively, in purely graph-theoretic terms, the polyhedral graphs are the 3-vertex-connected, planar graphs.
Let be the golden ratio.The 12 points given by (,,) 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 points (,,) together with the points (, /,) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates.
Some polyhedra have multiple edges and their faces are the faces of two or more polyhedra, though these are not compounds in the previous sense since the polyhedra share edges. Double covers. Some non-orientable polyhedra have double covers satisfying the definition of a uniform polyhedron. There double covers have doubled faces, edges and ...
