How to Construct a Dodecahedron

How the greeks constructed the Dodecahedron. Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 17. In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid. A regular dode

Canonical structures inside the Platonic solids III | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 51

The dodecahedron is surely one of the truly great mathematical objects---revered by the ancient Greeks, Kepler, and many mathematicians since. Its symmetries are particularly rich, and in this video we look at how to see the five-fold and six-fold symmetries of this object via internal str

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

How to construct a Tetrahedron

How the greeks constructed the first platonic solid: the regular tetrahedron. Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 13. In geometry, a tetrahedron also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners. Th

My #MegaFavNumbers 19,958,400 and stellated polygons

from what I have found online, stellations don't seem to be all that well known, so I hope this video will help it become a more commonly talked about concept, because I found it very interesting, especially after I had to do the proof myself, I got a lot of good insights out of it.

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

Three space-filling shapes hiding in the structure of diamond

Diamond is an arrangement of carbon atoms called the diamond cubic structure. As well as the cubes there are two other space-filling shapes that are found within it. In the unit cell I say "three more inside". It should of course be "four more inside". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamo

Dissecting a Playdough Rhombic Dodecahedron with Miles

This is a playful demonstration of how a rhombic dodecahedron can be diced up and the pieces rearranged to make three of the Platonic solids. Three cuts yield eight pieces that form two cubes. Four cuts yield 14 pieces that form two tetrahedrons and one octahedron. Special thanks to 10-
