Type Archimedean
Faces 20 triangles
12 decagons
Edges 90
Vertices 60
Vertex configuration 3,10,10
Symmetry group icosahedral (Ih)

The truncated dodecahedron is an Archimedean solid. It has 12 regular decagonal faces, 20 regular triangular faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges.



Canonical coordinates for the vertices of a truncated dodecahedron centered at the origin are (0, ±1/τ, ±(2+τ)), (±(2+τ), 0, ±1/τ), (±1/τ, ±(2+τ), 0), and (±1/τ, ±τ, ±2τ), (±2τ, ±1/τ, ±τ), (±τ, ±2τ, ±1/τ), and (±τ, ±2, ±τ2), (±τ2, ±τ, ±2), (±2, ±τ2, ±τ), where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden mean.
