Medial Rhombic Triacontahedron


U36Dual

A zonohedron which is the dual of the dodecadodecahedron U_(36) and Wenninger dual W_(73). The medial rhombic triacontahedron contains interior pentagrammic vertices which are, however, hidden from view (Wenninger 1983, p. 41). The solid is also called the small stellated triacontahedron (Coxeter 1973, pp. 102-103). The convex hull of the dodecadodecahedron is an icosidodecahedron and the dual of the icosidodecahedron is the rhombic triacontahedron, so the dual of the dodecadodecahedron (i.e., the medial rhombic triacontahedron) is one of the rhombic triacontahedron stellations (Wenninger 1983, p. 41).
