File:Rhombidodecadodecahedron.stl In geometry, the rhombidodecadodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U₃₈. It has 54 faces (30 squares, 12 pentagons and 12 pentagrams), 120 edges and 60 vertices. It is given a Schläfli symbol t_0,2{​⁵⁄₂,5}, and by the Wythoff construction this polyhedron can also be named a cantellated great dodecahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a uniform great rhombicosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of

(±1/τ², 0, ±τ²)

(±1, ±1, ±√5)

(±2, ±1/τ, ±τ)

where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).

Related polyhedra

It shares its vertex arrangement with the uniform compounds of 10 or 20 triangular prisms. It additionally shares its edges with the icosidodecadodecahedron (having the pentagonal and pentagrammic faces in common) and the rhombicosahedron (having the square faces in common).
