The convex regular dodecahedron also has three stellations, all of which are regular star dodecahedra.They form three of the four Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra.They are the small stellated dodecahedron {5/2, 5}, the great dodecahedron {5, 5/2}, and the great stellated dodecahedron {5/2, 3}.
A Roman dodecahedron or Gallo-Roman dodecahedron [1] [2] is a small hollow object made of copper alloy which has been cast into a regular dodecahedral shape with twelve flat pentagonal faces. Each face has a circular hole of varying diameter in the middle, the holes connecting to the hollow center, and each corner has a protruding knob. [ 1 ]
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.
Amateur archaeologists in England have unearthed one of the largest Roman dodecahedrons ever found, ... The 12-sided object is one of just 33 known to exist in Roman Britain, and one of ...
In geometry, the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron is a self-intersecting polyhedron with 12 faces, each of which is a non-convex hexagon. It is a stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron and has the same outer shell and the same visual appearance as two other shapes: a solid, Escher's solid, with 48 triangular faces, and a polyhedral compound of three flattened octahedra with 24 ...
The names of tetrahedra, hexahedra, octahedra (8-sided polyhedra), dodecahedra (12-sided polyhedra), and icosahedra (20-sided polyhedra) are sometimes used without additional qualification to refer to the Platonic solids, and sometimes used to refer more generally to polyhedra with the given number of sides without any assumption of symmetry.
the radius of the sphere passing through the eight order three vertices is exactly equal to the length of the sides: = The surface area A and the volume V of the rhombic dodecahedron with edge length a are: [ 4 ] A = 8 2 a 2 ≈ 11.314 a 2 , V = 16 3 9 a 3 ≈ 3.079 a 3 . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}A&=8{\sqrt {2}}a^{2}&\approx 11.314a^{2 ...
In geometry, the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces. It has 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, 60 vertices, and 120 edges.
