The truncated dodecahedron is the 32-faced Archimedean solid with faces 
. It is also a uniform
polyhedron with Maeder index 26 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 10 (Wenninger
1989), Coxeter index 29 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El index 31 (Har'El
1993). It has Schläfli symbol t
and Wythoff symbol 
. It is illustrated above together
with a wireframe version and a net that can be used for its
construction.
Some symmetric projections of the truncated dodecahedron are illustrated above.
It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as UniformPolyhedron["TruncatedDodecahedron"] or PolyhedronData["TruncatedDodecahedron"].
The truncated dodecahedron is the convex hull of the great ditrigonal dodecicosidodecahedron, great dodecicosahedron, and great icosicosidodecahedron uniform polyhedra.
To construct the truncated dodecahedron by truncation, the inradius 
of each resulting regular
decagon must equal that of the original regular
pentagon, 
,
with unit side length 
. Thus the side lengths 
of the decagonal faces satisfy

The length of the corner which is chopped off is therefore given by

The dual polyhedron of the truncated dodecahedron is the triakis icosahedron, both of which
are illustrated above together with their common midsphere.
The inradius 
of the dual, midradius 
of the solid and dual, and circumradius 
of the solid for unit edge length (
) are
