In geometry, the great snub dodecicosidodecahedron (or great snub dodekicosidodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U₆₄. It has 104 faces (80 triangles and 24 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices.^[1] It has Coxeter diagram . It has the unusual feature that its 24 pentagram faces occur in 12 coplanar pairs.

Cartesian coordinates

Let the point $p$ be given by

p={\begin{pmatrix}\phi ^{-{\frac {1}{2}}}\\0\\\phi ^{-1}\end{pmatrix}}

,

where $\phi$ is the golden ratio. Let the matrix $M$ be given by

M={\begin{pmatrix}1/2&-\phi /2&1/(2\phi )\\\phi /2&1/(2\phi )&-1/2\\1/(2\phi )&1/2&\phi /2\end{pmatrix}}

.

$M$ is the rotation around the axis $(1,0,\phi )$ by an angle of $2\pi /5$ , counterclockwise. Let the linear transformations $T_{0},\ldots ,T_{11}$ be the transformations which send a point $(x,y,z)$ to the even permutations of $(\pm x,\pm y,\pm z)$ with an even number of minus signs. The transformations $T_{i}$ constitute the group of rotational symmetries of a regular tetrahedron. The transformations $T_{i}M^{j}$ $(i=0,\ldots ,11$ , $j=0,\ldots ,4)$ constitute the group of rotational symmetries of a regular icosahedron. Then the 60 points $T_{i}M^{j}p$ are the vertices of a great snub dodecicosidodecahedron. The edge length equals ${\sqrt {2}}$ , the circumradius equals $1$ , and the midradius equals ${\frac {1}{2}}{\sqrt {2}}$ .

For a great snub dodecicosidodecahedron whose edge length is 1, the circumradius is

R={\frac {1}{2}}{\sqrt {2}}

.

Its midradius is

r={\frac {1}{2}}

Related polyhedra

It shares its vertices and edges, as well as 20 of its triangular faces and all its pentagrammic faces, with the great dirhombicosidodecahedron, (although the latter has 60 edges not contained in the great snub dodecicosidodecahedron). It shares its other 60 triangular faces (and its pentagrammic faces again) with the great disnub dirhombidodecahedron.

The edges and triangular faces also occur in the compound of twenty octahedra. In addition, 20 of the triangular faces occur in one enantiomer of the compound of twenty tetrahemihexahedra, and the other 60 triangular faces occur in the other enantiomer.

In geometry, a disdyakis triacontahedron, hexakis icosahedron, decakis dodecahedron or kisrhombic triacontahedron is a Catalan solid with 120 faces and the dual to the Archimedean truncated icosidodecahedron. As such it is face-uniform but with irregular face polygons. It slightly resembles an inflated rhombic triacontahedron: if one replaces each face of the rhombic triacontahedron with a single vertex and four triangles in a regular fashion, one ends up with a disdyakis triacontahedron. That is, the disdyakis triacontahedron is the Kleetope of the rhombic triacontahedron. It is also the barycentric subdivision of the regular dodecahedron and icosahedron. It has the most faces among the Archimedean and Catalan solids, with the snub dodecahedron, with 92 faces, in second place.
