In geometry, the tridiminished icosahedron is a Johnson solid that is constructed by removing three pentagonal pyramids from a regular icosahedron.

Construction

The tridiminished icosahedron can be constructed by removing three regular pentagonal pyramid from a regular icosahedron. [1] The aftereffect of such construction leaves five equilateral triangles and three regular pentagons. [2] Since all of its faces are regular polygons and the resulting polyhedron remains convex, the tridiminished icosahedron is a Johnson solid, and it is enumerated as the sixty-third Johnson solid . [3] This construction is similar to other Johnson solids as in gyroelongated pentagonal pyramid and metabidiminished icosahedron. [1]

The tridiminished icosahedron is non-composite polyhedron, meaning it is convex polyhedron that cannot be separated by a plane into two or more regular polyhedrons. [4]

Properties

The surface area of a tridiminished icosahedron is the sum of all polygonal faces' area: five equilateral triangles and three regular pentagons. Its volume can be ascertained by subtracting the volume of a regular icosahedron with the volume of three pentagonal pyramids. Given that is the edge length of a tridiminished icosahedron, they are: [2]

In geometry, the regular icosahedron is a convex polyhedron that can be constructed from pentagonal antiprism by attaching two pentagonal pyramids with 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 of a regular icosahedron.

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 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.

In geometry, an octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces. An octahedron can be considered as a square bipyramid. When the edges of a square bipyramid are all equal in length, it produces a regular octahedron, a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex. It is also an example of a deltahedron. An octahedron is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a cross polytope.
