truncated icosidodecahedron

== English == === Etymology === From truncated + icosidodecahedron, referring to a partial construction method for the figure. (The resultant figure requires further distortion to make the faces regular.) === Pronunciation === === Noun === truncated icosidodecahedron (plural truncated icosidodecahedra or truncated icosidodecahedrons) An Archimedean solid with 62 regular faces (12 decagons, 20 hexagons and 30 squares) and 180 edges. ==== Usage notes ==== The term truncated icosidodecahedron is considered improper by some authors because the implied construction results in a figure whose faces are not regular, and further distortion is required to make them so. The synonym great rhombicosidodecahedron is thus often preferred, even though confusion may arise with the (small) rhombicosidodecahedron and the nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron. ==== Synonyms ==== (polyhedron with 12 decagonal, 30 hexagonal and 30 square faces): great rhombicosidodecahedron, rhombitruncated icosidodecahedron ==== Derived terms ==== great truncated icosidodecahedron ==== Translations ==== === Further reading === Great Rhombicosidodecahedron on Wolfram MathWorld
