The concave equilateral dodecahedron, called an endo-dodecahedron. [clarification needed] A cube can be divided into a pyritohedron by bisecting all the edges, and faces in alternate directions. A regular dodecahedron is an intermediate case with equal edge lengths. A rhombic dodecahedron is a degenerate case with the 6 crossedges reduced to ...
The shape of the "Crystal Dome" used in the popular TV game show The Crystal Maze was based on a pentakis dodecahedron. In Doctor Atomic, the shape of the first atomic bomb detonated in New Mexico was a pentakis dodecahedron. In De Blob 2 in the Prison Zoo, domes are made up of parts of a Pentakis Dodecahedron. These Domes also appear whenever ...
A shape with the same exterior appearance as the dodecadodecahedron can be constructed by folding up these nets: 12 pentagrams and 20 rhombic clusters are necessary. . However, this construction replaces the crossing pentagonal faces of the dodecadodecahedron with non-crossing sets of rhombi, so it does not produce the same internal st
3D model of a elongated dodecahedron. In geometry, the elongated dodecahedron, [1] extended rhombic dodecahedron, rhombo-hexagonal dodecahedron [2] or hexarhombic dodecahedron [3] is a convex dodecahedron with 8 rhombic and 4 hexagonal faces. The hexagons can be made equilateral, or regular depending on the shape of the rhombi.
Pentakis dodecahedron is a slightly smaller Catalan solid which has 60 isosceles triangle faces, 90 edges (2 types), and 32 vertices (2 types). Tripentakis icosidodecahedron, the Kleetope of the icosidodecahedron, can be obtained by raising low pyramids on each equilateral triangular face on a pentakis icosidodecahedron.
In geometry, the excavated dodecahedron is a star polyhedron that looks like a dodecahedron with concave pentagonal pyramids in place of its faces. Its exterior surface represents the Ef 1 g 1 stellation of the icosahedron. It appears in Magnus Wenninger's book Polyhedron Models as model 28, the third stellation of icosahedron.
A polyhedron with only equilateral triangles as faces is called a deltahedron. [9] There are only eight different convex deltahedra, one of which is the pentagonal bipyramid with regular faces. More generally, the convex polyhedron in which all faces are regular is the Johnson solid , and every convex deltahedra is a Johnson solid.
The dyakis dodecahedron can be constructed by enlarging 24 of the 48 faces of the disdyakis dodecahedron and is inscribed in the dyakis dodecahedron, [2] [page needed] thus it exists as a hemihedral form of it with indices {hkl}. [3] It can be constructed into two non-regular pentagonal dodecahedra, the pyritohedron and the tetartoid.
