3D model of a small snub icosicosidodecahedron

In geometry, the small snub icosicosidodecahedron or snub disicosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron, indexed as U₃₂. It has 112 faces (100 triangles and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices. Its stellation core is a truncated pentakis dodecahedron. It also called a holosnub icosahedron, ß{3,5}.

The 40 non-snub triangular faces form 20 coplanar pairs, forming star hexagons that are not quite regular. Unlike most snub polyhedra, it has reflection symmetries.

Convex hull

Its convex hull is a nonuniform truncated icosahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a small snub icosicosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of

$${\displaystyle {\begin{array}{clllc}{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}1-\varphi +\alpha {\bigr ]},&\ \ \ \,0,&\pm {\bigl [}3+\varphi \alpha {\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )}\\{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}\varphi -1+\alpha {\bigr ]},&\pm \,2,&\pm {\bigl [}2\varphi -1+\varphi \alpha {\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )}\\{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}\varphi +1+\alpha {\bigr ]},&\pm \,2{\bigl [}\varphi -1{\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}1+\varphi \alpha {\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )}\end{array}}}$$

where ${\displaystyle \varphi ={\tfrac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}}$ is the golden ratio and ${\displaystyle \alpha ={\sqrt {3\varphi -2}}.}$
