Dodecahedron-Small Triambic Icosahedron Compound


DodecaSmallTriambIcos

The dodecahedron-small triambic icosahedron compound is a stellated form of a truncated icosahedron, but a different truncation than in the truncated icosahedron Archimedean solid. It contains curious but attractive patterns of raised regular pentagrams and irregular hexagrams.

The interior is the hull of a small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron and the convex hull has the connectivity of the pentakis dodecahedron.

The compound is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData["DodecahedronSmallTriambicIcosahedronCompound"] and its hull as PolyhedronData["DodecahedronSmallTriambicIcosahedronCompoundHull"].

For a compound hull constructed from a small triambic icosahedron with longest edge length equal to unity, the solid has lengths

s_1=1/2sqrt(1/(10)(373-161sqrt(5)-4sqrt(10-2sqrt(5))))
(1)
s_2=sqrt((363)/(40)-(159)/(8sqrt(5)))
(2)
s_3=sqrt(2/5)
(3)
s_4=1/(10)(5+sqrt(5)).
(4)

The dodecahedron component has circumradius

 r=sqrt((21)/(40)+9/(8sqrt(5))).
(5)

The surface area is given by the smallest positive root of

 x^8+120x^7-47106x^6-2558520x^5+678213891x^4-11883195720x^3-103746580866x^2+1595829755520x+2940233949441=0,
(6)

approximately equal to S=11.9446, and the volume is given by

 V=1/(20)(35+15sqrt(15)-4sqrt(650-290sqrt(5))).
