Uniform polyhedra

Great icosihemidodecahedron

In geometry, the great icosihemidodecahedron (or great icosahemidodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U71. It has 26 faces (20 triangles and 6 decagrams), 60 edges, and 30 vertices. Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral. It is a hemipolyhedron with 6 decagrammic faces passing through the model center. (Wikipedia).

The remarkable Platonic solids II: symmetry | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 48 | NJ Wildberger

We look at the symmetries of the Platonic solids, starting here with rigid motions, which are essentially rotations about fixed axes. We use the normalization of angle whereby one full turn has the value one, and also connect the number of rigid motions with the number of directed edges.

AlgTop8: Polyhedra and Euler's formula

We investigate the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octohedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Euler's formula relates the number of vertices, edges and faces. We give a proof using a triangulation argument and the flow down a sphere. This is the eighth lecture in this beginner's
