geometry
Geometry (; ) is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. A mathematician w ...
, the small dodecicosacron (or small dipteral trisicosahedron) is the dual of the
small dodecicosahedron (U50). It is visually identical to the
Small ditrigonal dodecacronic hexecontahedron. It has 60 intersecting
bow-tie-shaped faces.
Proportions
Each face has two angles of
and two angles of
. The diagonals of each antiparallelogram intersect at an angle of
. The
dihedral angle equals
. The ratio between the lengths of the long edges and the short ones equals
, which is the
golden ratio
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their summation, sum to the larger of the two quantities. Expressed algebraically, for quantities and with , is in a golden ratio to if

. Part of each face lies inside the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.
