3D model of a great dodecacronic hexecontahedron

In geometry, the great dodecacronic hexecontahedron (or great lanceal ditriacontahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the uniform great dodecicosidodecahedron. Its 60 intersecting quadrilateral faces are kites. Part of each kite lies inside the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.

Proportions

Each kite has two angles of arccos ( 5 8 1 8 5 ) 69.788 198 194 11 {\displaystyle \arccos({\frac {5}{8}}-{\frac {1}{8}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 69.788\,198\,194\,11^{\circ }} , one of arccos ( 1 4 + 1 10 5 ) 91.512 394 720 74 {\displaystyle \arccos(-{\frac {1}{4}}+{\frac {1}{10}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 91.512\,394\,720\,74^{\circ }} and one of arccos ( 1 8 9 40 5 ) 128.911 208 891 04 {\displaystyle \arccos(-{\frac {1}{8}}-{\frac {9}{40}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 128.911\,208\,891\,04^{\circ }} . The dihedral angle equals arccos ( 19 + 8 5 41 ) 91.553 403 672 16 {\displaystyle \arccos({\frac {-19+8{\sqrt {5}}}{41}})\approx 91.553\,403\,672\,16^{\circ }} . The ratio between the lengths of the long and short edges is 21 + 3 5 22 1.259 463 815 11 {\displaystyle {\frac {21+3{\sqrt {5}}}{22}}\approx 1.259\,463\,815\,11} .
