Explore Dodecahedron on MathWorld


(1) A general dodecahedron is any polyhedron having 12 faces. (2) The regular dodecahedron is the Platonic solid comprised of 12 pentagonal faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges.

Dodecahedron is a middle school-level concept.

Prerequisites

Platonic Solid: The Platonic solids are the five convex solids composed of identical regular polygons.
Regular Polygon: A regular polygon is a polygon in which the sides are all the same length and the angles all have the same measure.
