Metabigyrate Rhombicosidodecahedron


J74J74Net

The metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid obtained by rotating two of the pentagonal cupolas of a small rhombicosidodecahedron located in the "meta" (in the chemical arene substitution pattern sense) by 1/10 of a turn each. It is Johnson solid J_(74).

The unit metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron has volume

 V=20+(29)/3sqrt(5)
(1)

and Dehn invariant

D=60<3>_5-30<5>_1
(2)
=30sin^(-1)((5-4sqrt(5))/(15)),
(3)

where the first expression uses the basis of Conway et al. (1999). It can be dissected into the gryrate rhombicosidodecahedron, parabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron, small rhombicosidodecahedron, and trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron (E. Weisstein, Aug. 17, 2023).
