Truncated dodecahedron

The truncated dodecahedron is constructed from a regular dodecahedron by cutting all of its vertices off, a process known as truncation.{{r|ziya}} Alternatively, the truncated dodecahedron can be constructed by expansion: pushing away the edges of a regular dodecahedron, forming the pentagonal faces into decagonal faces, as well as the vertices into triangles.{{r|vxac}} Therefore, it has 32 faces, 90 edges, and 60 vertices.{{r|berman}}

The truncated dodecahedron may also be constructed by using Cartesian coordinates. With an edge length $2\backslash varphi\; -\; 2$ centered at the origin, they are all even permutations of

\left(0, \pm \frac{1}{\varphi}, \pm (2 + \varphi) \right), \qquad

\left(\pm \frac{1}{\varphi}, \pm \varphi, \pm 2 \varphi \right), \qquad

\left(\pm \varphi, \pm 2, \pm (\varphi + 1) \right),

where $\backslash varphi\; =\; \backslash frac\{1\; +\; \backslash sqrt\{5\}\}\{2\}$ is the golden ratio.{{mathworld |title=Icosahedral group |urlname=IcosahedralGroup}}

The surface area $A$ and the volume $V$ of a truncated dodecahedron of edge length $a$ are:{{r|berman}}

$$\backslash begin\{align\}$$

A &= 5 \left(\sqrt{3}+6\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}\right) a^2 &&\approx 100.991a^2 \\

V &= \frac{5}{12} \left(99+47\sqrt{5}\right) a^3 &&\approx 85.040a^3

\end{align}

The dihedral angle of a truncated dodecahedron between two regular dodecahedral faces is 116.57°, and that between triangle-to-dodecahedron is 142.62°.{{r|johnson}}

The truncated dodecahedron is an Archimedean solid, meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex. It has the same symmetry as the regular icosahedron, the icosahedral symmetry. The polygonal faces that meet for every vertex are one equilateral triangle and two regular decagon, and the vertex figure of a truncated dodecahedron is $3\; \backslash cdot\; 10^2$. The dual of a truncated dodecahedron is triakis icosahedron, a Catalan solid,{{r|williams}} which shares the same symmetry as the truncated dodecahedron.{{r|holden}}

The truncated dodecahedron is non-chiral, meaning it is congruent to its mirror image.{{r|kk}}

In the mathematical field of graph theory, a truncated dodecahedral graph is the graph of vertices and edges of the truncated dodecahedron, one of the Archimedean solids. It has 60 vertices and 90 edges, and is a cubic Archimedean graph.{{r|rw}}

The truncated dodecahedron can be applied in the polyhedron's construction known as the augmentation. Examples of polyhedrons are the Johnson solids, whose constructions are involved by attaching pentagonal cupolas onto the truncated dodecahedron: augmented truncated dodecahedron, parabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron, metabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron, and triaugmented truncated dodecahedron.{{r|berman}}
