Great Dirhombicosidodecahedron


U75

The great dirhombicosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 75 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 119 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 82 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El index 80 (Har'El 1993). This polyhedron is exceptional because it cannot be derived from Schwarz triangles and because it is the only uniform polyhedron with more than six polygons surrounding each polyhedron vertex (four squares alternating with two triangles and two pentagrams). It has pseudo-Wythoff symbol |3/25/335/2 and faces 40{3}+60{4}+24{5/2}. This unique polyhedron has features in common with both snub forms and hemipolyhedra, and its octagrammic faces pass through the origin.

The great dirhombicosidodecahedron is implemented in the Wolfram Language as UniformPolyhedron[119], UniformPolyhedron["GreatDirhombicosidodecahedron"], UniformPolyhedron[{"Coxeter", 82}], UniformPolyhedron[{"Kaleido", 80}], UniformPolyhedron[{"Uniform", 75}], or UniformPolyhedron[{"Wenninger", 119}]. It is also implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData["GreatDirhombicosidodecahedron"].

Its skeleton is the great dirhombicosidodecahedral graph, illustrated above in a couple embeddings.

Its circumradius for unit edge length is

 R=1/2sqrt(2).

Its dual is the great dirhombicosidodecacron.

The great dirhombicosidodecahedron appears on the cover of issue 4, volume 3 of The Mathematica Journal.
