In geometry, the snub dodecadodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U40. It has 84 faces (60 triangles, 12 pentagons, and 12 pentagrams), 150 edges, and 60 vertices.[1] It is given a Schläfli symbol sr{52,5}, as a snub great dodecahedron.

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 positive 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 negative root gives the inverted snub dodecadodecahedron.
