Icosahedron - Wikipedia In geometry, an icosahedron ( ˌaɪkɒsəˈhiːdrən, - kə -, - koʊ - or aɪˌkɒsəˈhiːdrən [1]) is a polyhedron with 20 faces The name comes from Ancient Greek εἴκοσι (eíkosi) 'twenty' and ἕδρα (hédra) 'seat' The plural can be either "icosahedra" ( - drə ) or "icosahedrons"
Icosahedron The icosahedron's definition is derived from the ancient Greek words Icos (eíkosi) meaning 'twenty' and hedra (hédra) meaning 'seat' It is one of the five platonic solids with equilateral triangular faces
Spinning Icosahedron - Math is Fun For a regular icosahedron (where all faces are equilateral triangles): The name icosahedron comes from the Greek icosa- meaning 20, because it is a polyhedron with 20 faces When we have more than one icosahedron they are called icosahedra
Icosahedron - Math. net What is an icosahedron An icosahedron is a three-dimensional figure made up of only polygons One real life icosahedron example is a 20-sided die, also referred to as D20: The 20-sided die above is an example of a regular icosahedron, since all of its faces are made up of 20 equilateral triangles
Icosahedron – The Geometry of Thinking The icosahedron is distinguished from the other regular polyhedra in that it has an irrational volume both in tetrahedra and cubes Its isolation is further reinforced by its axes of spin and the 31 great circles they describe
Regular Icosahedron -- from Wolfram MathWorld The regular icosahedron, often simply called "the" icosahedron, is the regular polyhedron and Platonic solid illustrated above having 12 polyhedron vertices, 30 polyhedron edges, and 20 equivalent equilateral triangle faces, 20 {3}
40 Facts About Icosahedral An icosahedron is a three-dimensional shape with 20 triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices This geometric marvel belongs to the family of polyhedra, specifically the Platonic solids
Icosahedron: Definition, Properties Real-Life Examples - Vedantu An icosahedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape, specifically a polyhedron, that has exactly 20 faces In its most common form, the regular icosahedron, all faces are identical equilateral triangles
