The dodecahedron is one of the five Platonic solids. It contains 12 pentagons joining three to a vertex.
Coordinates
The coordinates of a dodecahedron with side length 2/φ (where φ = (1+√5)/2) are:
(±1, ±1, ±1
(0, ±1/φ, ±φ)
(±1/φ, ±φ, 0)
(±φ, 0, ±1/φ)
The first set of coordinates shows that a cube can be inscribed into a dodecahedron.
Equations
- The hypervolumes of a dodecahedron with side length l are given by:
total edge length = 30l
surface area = 3√(25 + 10√5) · l2
volume = (15 + 7√5)∕4 · l3
Incidence matrix
Dual: icosahedron
