3D model of a great truncated icosidodecahedron

In geometry, the great truncated icosidodecahedron (or great quasitruncated icosidodecahedron or stellatruncated icosidodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U₆₈. It has 62 faces (30 squares, 20 hexagons, and 12 decagrams), 180 edges, and 120 vertices. It is given a Schläfli symbol t_0,1,2{5⁄3,3}, and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, .

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a great truncated icosidodecahedron centered at the origin are all the even permutations of

(±τ, ±τ, ±(3−1/τ)),

(±2τ, ±1/τ, ±τ⁻³),

(±τ, ±1/τ², ±(1+3/τ)),

(±√5, ±2, ±√5/τ) and

(±1/τ, ±3, ±2/τ),

where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio.

3D model of a great disdyakis triacontahedron

The great disdyakis triacontahedron (or trisdyakis icosahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the great truncated icosidodecahedron. Its faces are triangles.

Proportions

The triangles have one angle of $\arccos({\frac {1}{6}}+{\frac {1}{15}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 71.594\,636\,220\,88^{\circ }$, one of $\arccos({\frac {3}{4}}+{\frac {1}{10}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 13.192\,999\,040\,74^{\circ }$ and one of $\arccos({\frac {3}{8}}-{\frac {5}{24}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 95.212\,364\,738\,38^{\circ }$. The dihedral angle equals $\arccos({\frac {-179+24{\sqrt {5}}}{241}})\approx 121.336\,250\,807\,39^{\circ }$. Part of each triangle lies within the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.
