Catalan solids | Chiral polyhedra
In geometry, a pentagonal icositetrahedron or pentagonal icosikaitetrahedron is a Catalan solid which is the dual of the snub cube. In crystallography it is also called a gyroid. It has two distinct forms, which are mirror images (or "enantiomorphs") of each other. (Wikipedia).
How to Construct an Icosahedron
How the greeks constructed the icosahedron. Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 16. In geometry, a regular icosahedron is a convex polyhedron with 20 faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids, and the one with the most faces. https://www.etsy.com/lis

How to find the volume of a pentagonal pyramid
👉 Learn how to find the volume and the surface area of a pyramid. A pyramid is a 3-dimensional object having a polygon as its base and triangular surfaces converging at a single point called its apex. A pyramid derives its name from the shape of its base, i.e. a pyramid with a triangular b

Mathematicians have long understood periodic trajectories on the square billiard table. In the present work, we describe periodic trajectories on the regular pentagon – their geometry, symbolic dynamics, and group structure. Some of the periodic trajectories exhibit a surprising

In 2001 Thomas Hales proved that hexagons provide the least-perimeter way to tile the plane with unit areas. Of course, among hexagons, the regular one is best. Similarly, the best quadrilateral is square and the best triangle is equilateral. But what is the best pentagonal tile? Unfortuna
