In geometry, the medial hexagonal hexecontahedron (or midly dentoid ditriacontahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the uniform snub icosidodecadodecahedron.

Proportions

The faces of the medial hexagonal hexecontahedron are irregular nonconvex hexagons. Denote the golden ratio by \phi, and let \xi\approx -0.377\,438\,833\,12 be the real zero of the polynomial 8x^3-4x^2+1. The number \xi can be written as \xi=-1/(2\rho), where \rho is the plastic ratio. Then each face has four equal angles of \arccos(\xi)\approx 112.175\,128\,045\,27^{\circ}, one of \arccos(\phi^2\xi+\phi)\approx 50.958\,265\,917\,31^{\circ} and one of 360^{\circ}-\arccos(\phi^{-2}\xi-\phi^{-1})\approx 220.341\,221\,901\,59^{\circ}. Each face has two long edges, two of medium length and two short ones. If the medium edges have length 2, the long ones have length 1+\sqrt{(1-\xi)/(-\phi^{-3}-\xi)}\approx 4.121\,448\,816\,41 and the short ones 1-\sqrt{(1-\xi)/(\phi^{3}-\xi)}\approx 0.453\,587\,559\,98. The dihedral angle equals \arccos(\xi/(\xi+1))\approx 127.320\,132\,197\,62^{\circ}.
