RhombicEnneacontahedron

The rhombic enneacontahedron is the equilateral zonohedron constructed from the 10 diameters of the dodecahedron. This enneacontahedron somewhat resembles a figure of Sharp (Ball and Coxeter 1987).

RhombicEnneacontahedronFaces

It has 90 faces, with 30 of one type and the other 60 of another.

It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData["RhombicEnneacontahedron"].

The rhombic enneacontahedron with edge length a has surface area and volume

S=20(1+2sqrt(2))a^2
(1)
V=(20)/3sqrt(43+(56)/3sqrt(5))a^3
(2)

and inertia tensor

I=[1/(930)(4493-951sqrt(5))Ma^2 0 0; 0 1/(930)(4493-951sqrt(5))Ma^2 0; 0 0 1/(465)(619+222sqrt(5))Ma^2].
(3)

The rhombic enneacontahedron has Dehn invariant 0.
