The disdyakis triacontahedron (from Greek ἑξάκις hexakis "six" and icosahedron "icosahedral") or Disdyakistriakontaeder ( Greek δίς dis "twice", δυάκις dyakis "twice" and triacontahedron "Dreißigflächner") is a convex polyhedron , which is composed of 120 irregular triangles composed and belongs to the Catalan bodies . It is dual to the truncated icosidodecahedron and has 62 vertices and 180 edges.

Emergence

Rhombic triacontahedron as a base

If pyramids with the flank lengths and are placed on the 30 boundary surfaces of a rhombic triacontahedron (edge ​​length ) , a hexakisicosahedron is created, provided the following condition is met:

  • For the aforementioned minimum value of , the pyramids on top have the height 0, so that only the rhombic triacontahedron with the edge length remains.
  • The special hexakisicosahedron with equal surface angles at the edges and is created when is.
  • If b assumes the aforementioned maximum value, the hexakisicosahedron degenerates into a deltoidal hexacontahedron with the edge lengths and .
  • If the maximum value is exceeded , the polyhedron is no longer convex.

Truncated icosidodecahedron as a base

Construction of the triangle at the truncated icosidodecahedron

By connecting the centers of three edges that meet in each corner of the truncated icosidodecahedron , a triangle is created, the circumference of which is also an inscribed circle of the triangle, the boundary surface of the hexakisicosahedron. In this special type, all face angles are the same (≈ 165 °) and there is a uniform edge sphere radius .

Let be the edge length of the truncated icosidodecahedron, then the resulting side lengths of the triangle are given by
