The compound of six pentagonal antiprisms is a uniform polyhedron compound. It's composed of a symmetric arrangement of 6 pentagonal antiprisms. It can be constructed by inscribing one pentagonal antiprism within an icosahedron in each of the six possible ways, and then rotating each by 36 degrees about its axis (that passes through the centres of the two opposite pentagonal faces).
It shares its vertex arrangement with the compound of six pentagrammic crossed antiprisms.
Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of
- (±(3 + 4τ), 0, ±(4 − 3τ))
- (±(2 − 4τ), ±5τ, ±(1 − 2τ))
- (±(2 + τ), ±5, ±(4 + 2τ))
where τ = (1 + √5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
