Meaning of snub dodecahedron | Babel Free

Definitions

A polyhedron that has 12 pentagonal and 80 triangular faces and is an Archimedean solid.

Examples

“This gives two points, A’, A₁’, which are projections of vertices of the two enantiomorphous snub dodecahedra that can be inscribed in the regular dodecahedron.”

“The form can be derived by triangulating the pentagonal faces of the snub dodecahedron (Fig. 19).”

“In the case of the latter, two chiral members, the snub cube and the snub dodecahedron, are realized.”

“The snub dodecahedron has 60 vertices, 150 edges and 92 faces of which 12 are pentagonal and 80 triangular. This polyhedron has I symmetry and can therefore be constructed in left- and right-handed forms.”

“The result is a structure of two nested snub cubes rotated by an angle of 45° against each other (n = 24) and two nested snub dodecahedra, where the rotation angle amounts to 36° (n = 60).”
