Miller's Monster
In geometry, the great dirhombicosidodecahedron (or great snub disicosidisdodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed last as . It has 124 faces (40 triangles, 60 squares, and 24 pentagrams), 240 edges, and 60 vertices. This is the only non-degenerate uniform polyhedron with more than six faces meeting at a vertex. Each vertex has 4 squares which pass through the vertex central axis (and thus through the centre of the figure), alternating with two triangles and two pentagrams. Another unusual feature is that the faces all occur in coplanar pairs. This is also the only uniform polyhedron that cannot be made by the Wythoff construction from a spherical triangle. It has a special Wythoff symbol relating it to a spherical quadrilateral. This symbol suggests that it is a sort of snub polyhedron, except that instead of the non-snub faces being surrounded by snub triangles as in most snub polyhedra, they are surrounded by snub squares. It has been nicknamed "Mil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Related polyhedra It shares its vertices and edges, as well as 20 of its triangular faces and all its pentagrammic faces, with the great dirhombicosidodecahedron, (although the latter has 60 edges not contained in the great snub dodecicosidodecahedron).

Golden Ratio
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. Expressed algebraically, for quantities a and b with a > b > 0, where the Greek letter phi ( or \phi) denotes the golden ratio. The constant \varphi satisfies the quadratic equation \varphi^2 = \varphi + 1 and is an irrational number with a value of The golden ratio was called the extreme and mean ratio by Euclid, and the divine proportion by Luca Pacioli, and also goes by several other names. Mathematicians have studied the golden ratio's properties since antiquity. It is the ratio of a regular pentagon's diagonal to its side and thus appears in the construction of the dodecahedron and icosahedron. A golden rectangle—that is, a rectangle with an aspect ratio of \varphi—may be cut into a square and a smaller rectangle with the same aspect ratio. The golden ratio has been used to analyze the proportions of natural object ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cartesian Coordinates
A Cartesian coordinate system (, ) in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference coordinate line is called a ''coordinate axis'' or just ''axis'' (plural ''axes'') of the system, and the point where they meet is its ''origin'', at ordered pair . The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as signed distances from the origin. One can use the same principle to specify the position of any point in three-dimensional space by three Cartesian coordinates, its signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes (or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines). In general, ''n'' Cartesian coordinates (an element of real ''n''-space) specify the point in an ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nonconvex Great Rhombicosidodecahedron
In geometry, the nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U67. It has 62 faces (20 triangles, 30 squares and 12 pentagrams), 120 edges, and 60 vertices. It is also called the quasirhombicosidodecahedron. It is given a Schläfli symbol rr. Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral. This model shares the name with the convex ''great rhombicosidodecahedron'', also known as the truncated icosidodecahedron. Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of : (±1/τ2, 0, ±(2−1/τ)) : (±1, ±1/τ3, ±1) : (±1/τ, ±1/τ2, ±2/τ) where τ = (1+)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ). Related polyhedra It shares its vertex arrangement with the truncated great dodecahedron, and with the uniform compounds of 6 or 12 pentagonal prisms. It additionally shares its edge arrangement with the great dodecicosidodecahedron (having the tri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Compound Of Twenty Tetrahemihexahedra
This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 20 tetrahemihexahedra. It is chiral with icosahedral symmetry (I). John Skilling notes, in his enumeration of uniform compounds of uniform polyhedra, that this compound of 20 tetrahemihexahedra is unique in that it cannot be obtained by "adding symmetry to a group in which the basic polyhedron is uniform". Each tetrahemihexahedron in this compound is embedded with symmetry group C3, which does not act transitively over the tetrahemihexahedron's six vertices. However, the compound as a whole can achieve uniformity because two tetrahemihexahedra coincide at each vertex. Related polyhedra This compound shares its edge arrangement with the great dirhombicosidodecahedron, the great disnub dirhombidodecahedron, and the compound of 20 octahedra. The edges and 20 of the triangular faces occur in one enantiomer of the great snub dodecicosidodecahedron In geometry, the great snub dodecicosidodecahedron (or great snub ...

Compound Of Twenty Octahedra
The compound of twenty octahedra is a uniform polyhedron compound. It's composed of a symmetric arrangement of 20 octahedra (considered as triangular antiprisms). It is a special case of the compound of 20 octahedra with rotational freedom, in which pairs of octahedral vertices coincide. Related polyhedra This compound shares its edge arrangement with the great dirhombicosidodecahedron, the great disnub dirhombidodecahedron, and the compound of twenty tetrahemihexahedra. It may be constructed as the exclusive or of the two enantiomorphs of the great snub dodecicosidodecahedron. See also *Compound of three octahedra *Compound of four octahedra *Compound of five octahedra The compound of five octahedra is one of the five regular polyhedron compounds.

Great Disnub Dirhombidodecahedron
In geometry, the great disnub dirhombidodecahedron, also called ''Skilling's figure'', is a degenerate uniform star polyhedron. It was proven in 1970 that there are only 75 uniform polyhedra other than the infinite families of prisms and antiprisms. John Skilling discovered another degenerate example, the great disnub dirhombidodecahedron, by relaxing the condition that edges must be single. More precisely, he allowed any even amount of faces to meet at each edge, as long as the set of faces couldn't be separated into two connected sets (Skilling, 1975). Due to its geometric realization having some double edges where 4 faces meet, it is considered a degenerate uniform polyhedron but not strictly a uniform polyhedron. The number of edges is ambiguous, because the underlying abstract polyhedron has 360 edges, but 120 pairs of these have the same image in the geometric realization, so that the geometric realization has 120 single edges and 120 double edges where 4 faces meet, for ...
