Icosahedron (EntityTopic, 12)
From Hi.gher. Space
(Redirected from Ike)
The icosahedron is one of the five Platonic solids. It contains 20 triangles joined five to a vertex. It can also be considered as a snubbed tetrahedron.
Coordinates
The coordinates of an icosahedron with edge length 2 are:
(0, ±1, ±φ)
(±1, ±φ, 0)
(±φ, 0, ±1)
Equations
- The hypervolumes of an icosahedron with side length l are given by:
total edge length = 30l
surface area = 5√3 · l2
volume = 5(3+√5)∕12 · l3
Relation to other polyhedra
Non-convex polyhedra sharing vertex coordinates with the icosahedron can be morphed into J91 (bilbiro) and J92 (thawro) as seen in the following animations:
