3D model of a tetradyakis hexahedron

The tetradyakis hexahedron (or great disdyakis dodecahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It has 48 intersecting scalene triangle faces, 72 edges, and 20 vertices.

Proportions[]

The triangles have one angle of $\arccos({\frac {3}{4}})\approx 41.409\,622\,109\,27^{\circ }$ , one of $\arccos({\frac {1}{6}}+{\frac {7}{12}}{\sqrt {2}})\approx 7.420\,694\,647\,42^{\circ }$ and one of $\arccos({\frac {1}{6}}-{\frac {7}{12}}{\sqrt {2}})\approx 131.169\,683\,243\,31^{\circ }$ . The dihedral angle equals $\arccos(-{\frac {5}{7}})\approx 135.584\,691\,402\,81^{\circ }$ . Part of each triangle lies within the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.
