Deltoidal Hexecontahedron
In geometry, a deltoidal hexecontahedron (also sometimes called a ''trapezoidal hexecontahedron'', a ''strombic hexecontahedron'', or a ''tetragonal hexacontahedron'') is a Catalan solid which is the dual polyhedron of the rhombicosidodecahedron, an Archimedean solid. It is one of six Catalan solids to not have a Hamiltonian path among its vertices. It is topologically identical to the nonconvex rhombic hexecontahedron. Lengths and angles The 60 faces are deltoids or kite (geometry), kites. The short and long edges of each kite are in the ratio 1:\frac ≈ 1:1.539344663... The angle between two short edges in a single face is \arccos(\frac) ≈ 118.2686774705°. The opposite angle, between long edges, is \arccos(\frac) ≈ 67.783011547435°. The other two angles of each face, between a short and a long edge each, are both equal to \arccos(\frac) ≈ 86.97415549104°. The dihedral angle between any pair of adjacent faces is \arccos(\frac) ≈ 154.12136312578°. Topology Topolo ...

Net (polyhedron)
In geometry, a net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of non-overlapping Edge (geometry), edge-joined polygons in the plane (geometry), plane which can be folded (along edges) to become the face (geometry), faces of the polyhedron. Polyhedral nets are a useful aid to the study of polyhedra and solid geometry in general, as they allow for physical models of polyhedra to be constructed from material such as thin cardboard. An early instance of polyhedral nets appears in the works of Albrecht Dürer, whose 1525 book ''A Course in the Art of Measurement with Compass and Ruler'' (''Unterweysung der Messung mit dem Zyrkel und Rychtscheyd '') included nets for the Platonic solids and several of the Archimedean solids. These constructions were first called nets in 1543 by Augustin Hirschvogel. Existence and uniqueness Many different nets can exist for a given polyhedron, depending on the choices of which edges are joined and which are separated. The edges that are cut from a convex poly ...

Icosidodecahedron
In geometry, an icosidodecahedron or pentagonal gyrobirotunda is a polyhedron with twenty (''icosi-'') triangular faces and twelve (''dodeca-'') pentagonal faces. An icosidodecahedron has 30 identical Vertex (geometry), vertices, with two triangles and two pentagons meeting at each, and 60 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a pentagon. As such, it is one of the Archimedean solids and more particularly, a quasiregular polyhedron. Construction One way to construct the icosidodecahedron is to start with two pentagonal rotunda by attaching them to their bases. These rotundas cover their decagonal base so that the resulting polyhedron has 32 faces, 30 vertices, and 60 edges. This construction is similar to one of the Johnson solids, the pentagonal orthobirotunda. The difference is that the icosidodecahedron is constructed by twisting its rotundas by 36°, a process known as gyration, resulting in the pentagonal face connecting to the triangular one. The icosidodecahedr ...

Regular Dodecahedron
A regular dodecahedron or pentagonal dodecahedronStrictly speaking, a pentagonal dodecahedron need not be composed of regular pentagons. The name "pentagonal dodecahedron" therefore covers a wider class of solids than just the Platonic solid, the regular dodecahedron. is a dodecahedron composed of regular polygon, regular pentagonal faces, three meeting at each Vertex (geometry), vertex. It is an example of Platonic solids, described as cosmic stellation by Plato in his dialogues, and it was used as part of Solar System proposed by Johannes Kepler. However, the regular dodecahedron, including the other Platonic solids, has already been described by other philosophers since antiquity. The regular dodecahedron is a truncated trapezohedron because it is the result of Truncation (geometry), truncating axial vertices of a pentagonal trapezohedron. It is also a Goldberg polyhedron because it is the initial polyhedron to construct new polyhedrons by the process of chamfering. It has a re ...

Regular Icosahedron
The regular icosahedron (or simply ''icosahedron'') is a convex polyhedron that can be constructed from pentagonal antiprism by attaching two pentagonal pyramids with Regular polygon, regular faces to each of its pentagonal faces, or by putting points onto the cube. The resulting polyhedron has 20 equilateral triangles as its faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices. It is an example of a Platonic solid and of a deltahedron. The icosahedral graph represents the Skeleton (topology), skeleton of a regular icosahedron. Many polyhedra are constructed from the regular icosahedron. A notable example is the stellation of regular icosahedron, which consists of 59 polyhedrons. The great dodecahedron, one of the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra, is constructed by either stellation or faceting. Some of the Johnson solids can be constructed by removing the pentagonal pyramids. The regular icosahedron's dual polyhedron is the regular dodecahedron, and their relation has a historical background on the c ...

Icosahedron
In geometry, an icosahedron ( or ) is a polyhedron with 20 faces. The name comes . The plural can be either "icosahedra" () or "icosahedrons". There are infinitely many non- similar shapes of icosahedra, some of them being more symmetrical than others. The best known is the ( convex, non- stellated) regular icosahedron—one of the Platonic solids—whose faces are 20 equilateral triangles. Regular icosahedra There are two objects, one convex and one nonconvex, that can both be called regular icosahedra. Each has 30 edges and 20 equilateral triangle faces with five meeting at each of its twelve vertices. Both have icosahedral symmetry. The term "regular icosahedron" generally refers to the convex variety, while the nonconvex form is called a ''great icosahedron''. Convex regular icosahedron The convex regular icosahedron is usually referred to simply as the ''regular icosahedron'', one of the five regular Platonic solids, and is represented by its Schläfli symbol , contai ...

Dodecahedron
In geometry, a dodecahedron (; ) or duodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid. There are also three Kepler–Poinsot polyhedron, regular star dodecahedra, which are constructed as stellations of the convex form. All of these have icosahedral symmetry, order 120. Some dodecahedra have the same combinatorial structure as the regular dodecahedron (in terms of the graph formed by its vertices and edges), but their pentagonal faces are not regular: The #Pyritohedron, pyritohedron, a common crystal form in pyrite, has pyritohedral symmetry, while the #Tetartoid, tetartoid has tetrahedral symmetry. The rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a limiting case of the pyritohedron, and it has octahedral symmetry. The elongated dodecahedron and trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron variations, along with the rhombic dodecahedra, are space-filling polyhedra, space-filling. ...

Rhombic Hexecontahedron
In geometry, a rhombic hexecontahedron is a stellation of the rhombic triacontahedron. It is nonconvex with 60 golden rhombus, golden rhombic faces with icosahedral symmetry. It was described mathematically in 1940 by Helmut Unkelbach. It is topologically identical to the convex deltoidal hexecontahedron which has Kite (geometry), kite faces. Dissection The rhombic hexecontahedron can be dissected into 20 acute golden rhombohedra meeting at a central point. This gives the volume of a hexecontahedron of side length ''a'' to be V = (10 + 2\sqrt 5)a^3 and the area to be A = (24\sqrt 5)a^2. : Construction A rhombic hexecontahedron can be constructed from a regular dodecahedron, by taking its vertices, its face centers and its edge centers and scaling them in or out from the body center to different extents. Thus, if the 20 vertices of a dodecahedron are pulled out to increase the circumradius by a factor of ≈ 1.309, the 12 face centers are pushed in to decrease the inradius to ...

Hamiltonian Path
In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path (or traceable path) is a path in an undirected or directed graph that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian path that starts and ends at adjacent vertices can be completed by adding one more edge to form a Hamiltonian cycle, and removing any edge from a Hamiltonian cycle produces a Hamiltonian path. The computational problems of determining whether such paths and cycles exist in graphs are NP-complete; see Hamiltonian path problem for details. Hamiltonian paths and cycles are named after William Rowan Hamilton, who invented the icosian game, now also known as ''Hamilton's puzzle'', which involves finding a Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of the dodecahedron. Hamilton solved this problem using the icosian calculus, an algebraic structure based on roots of unity with many similarities to the quaternions (also ...
