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[edit]

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[edit]

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.
