{{Short description|Archimedean solid with 32 faces}} {{CS1 config|mode=cs1}} {{infobox polyhedron | name = Truncated dodecahedron | image = Dwunastościan ścięty.svg | type = [[Archimedean solid]] | symmetry = [[icosahedral symmetry]] <math> \mathrm{I}_\mathrm{h} </math> | dual = [[Triakis icosahedron]] | faces = 32 | edges = 90 | vertices = 60 | angle = 10-10: 116.57° <br> 3-10: 142.62° | vertex_figure = Polyhedron truncated 12 vertfig.svg | net = Polyhedron truncated 12 net.svg }} In [[geometry]], the '''truncated dodecahedron''' is an [[Archimedean solid]]. It has 12 regular [[decagon]]al faces, 20 regular [[triangular]] faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges. == Construction == The truncated dodecahedron is constructed from a [[regular dodecahedron]] by cutting all of its vertices off, a process known as [[Truncation (geometry)|truncation]].{{r|ziya}} Alternatively, the truncated dodecahedron can be constructed by [[expansion (geometry)|expansion]]: pushing away the edges of a regular dodecahedron, forming the [[Pentagon|pentagonal]] faces into [[Decagon|decagonal]] faces, as well as the vertices into [[triangle]]s.{{r|vxac}} Therefore, it has 32 faces, 90 edges, and 60 vertices.{{r|berman}} The truncated dodecahedron may also be constructed by using [[Cartesian coordinate]]s. With an edge length <math> 2\varphi - 2 </math> centered at the origin, they are all even permutations of <math display="block"> \left(0, \pm \frac{1}{\varphi}, \pm (2 + \varphi) \right), \qquad \left(\pm \frac{1}{\varphi}, \pm \varphi, \pm 2 \varphi \right), \qquad \left(\pm \varphi, \pm 2, \pm (\varphi + 1) \right), </math> where <math display="inline"> \varphi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} </math> is the [[golden ratio]].<ref>{{mathworld |title=Icosahedral group |urlname=IcosahedralGroup}}</ref> == Properties == The surface area <math> A </math> and the volume <math> V </math> of a truncated dodecahedron of edge length <math> a </math> are:{{r|berman}} <math display="block"> \begin{align} A &= 5 \left(\sqrt{3}+6\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}\right) a^2 &&\approx 100.991a^2 \\ V &= \frac{5}{12} \left(99+47\sqrt{5}\right) a^3 &&\approx 85.040a^3 \end{align}</math> The dihedral angle of a truncated dodecahedron between two regular dodecahedral faces is 116.57°, and that between triangle-to-dodecahedron is 142.62°.{{r|johnson}} [[File:Truncated dodecahedron.stl|thumb|3D model of a truncated dodecahedron]] The truncated dodecahedron is an [[Archimedean solid]], meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex.<ref name=diudea/> It has the same symmetry as the regular icosahedron, the [[icosahedral symmetry]].<ref name=kk/> The polygonal faces that meet for every vertex are one equilateral triangle and two regular decagon, and the [[vertex figure]] of a truncated dodecahedron is <math> 3 \cdot 10^2 </math>. The dual of a truncated dodecahedron is [[triakis icosahedron]], a [[Catalan solid]],{{r|williams}} which shares the same symmetry as the truncated dodecahedron.{{r|holden}} The truncated dodecahedron is non-[[Chirality (mathematics)|chiral]], meaning it is congruent to its mirror image.{{r|kk}} == Truncated dodecahedral graph == [[File:Truncated dodecahedral graph.png|thumb|240px|The graph of a truncated dodecahedron]] In the [[mathematics|mathematical]] field of [[graph theory]], a ''truncated dodecahedral graph'' is the [[1-skeleton|graph of vertices and edges]] of the ''truncated dodecahedron'', one of the [[Archimedean solid]]s. It has 60 [[Vertex (graph theory)|vertices]] and 90 edges, and is a [[cubic graph|cubic]] [[Archimedean graph]].{{r|rw}} == Related polyhedron == The truncated dodecahedron can be applied in the polyhedron's construction known as the [[Augmentation (geometry)|augmentation]]. Examples of polyhedrons are the [[Johnson solid]]s, whose constructions are involved by attaching [[pentagonal cupola]]s onto the truncated dodecahedron: [[augmented truncated dodecahedron]], [[parabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron]], [[metabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron]], and [[triaugmented truncated dodecahedron]].{{r|berman}} == See also == * [[Great stellated truncated dodecahedron]] ==References== {{reflist|refs= <ref name=berman>{{cite journal | last = Berman | first = Martin | doi = 10.1016/0016-0032(71)90071-8 | journal = Journal of the Franklin Institute | mr = 290245 | pages = 329–352 | title = Regular-faced convex polyhedra | volume = 291 | year = 1971| issue = 5 }} See in particular page 336.</ref> <ref name=diudea>{{cite book | last = Diudea | first = M.
