In geometry, the truncated great icosahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U₅₅. It is given a Schläfli symbol t_0,1{3,5/2} as a truncated great icosahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a truncated great icosahedron centered at the origin are all the even permutations of

(±1, 0, ±3/τ)

(±2, ±1/τ, ±1/τ³)

(±(1+1/τ²), ±1, ±2/τ)

where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ). Using 1/τ² = 1 − 1/τ one verifies that all vertices are on a sphere, centered at the origin, with the radius squared equal to 10−9/τ. The edges have length 2.

Related polyhedra

This polyhedron is the truncation of the great icosahedron:

The truncated great stellated dodecahedron is a degenerate polyhedron, with 20 triangular faces from the truncated vertices, and 12 (hidden) pentagonal faces as truncations of the original pentagram faces, the latter forming a great dodecahedron inscribed within and sharing the edges of the icosahedron.
