3D model of an inverted snub dodecadodecahedron

In geometry, the inverted snub dodecadodecahedron (or vertisnub dodecadodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U60.[1] It is given a Schläfli symbol sr{5/3,5}.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of an inverted snub dodecadodecahedron are all the even permutations of

with an even number of plus signs, where

is the golden ratio, and α is the negative real root of

Taking the odd permutations of the above coordinates with an odd number of plus signs gives another form, the enantiomorph of the other one. Taking α to be the positive root gives the snub dodecadodecahedron.

3D model of a medial inverted pentagonal hexecontahedron

The medial inverted pentagonal hexecontahedron (or midly petaloid ditriacontahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the uniform inverted snub dodecadodecahedron. Its faces are irregular nonconvex pentagons, with one very acute angle.

Proportions

Denote the golden ratio by , and let be the largest (least negative) real zero of the polynomial . Then each face has three equal angles of , one of and one of . Each face has one medium length edge, two short and two long ones. If the medium length is , then the short edges have length

and the long edges have length

The dihedral angle equals . The other real zero of the polynomial plays a similar role for the medial pentagonal hexecontahedron.
