Great hexagonal hexecontahedron

In geometry, the great hexagonal hexecontahedron (or great astroid ditriacontahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the uniform great snub dodecicosidodecahedron. It is partially degenerate, having coincident vertices, as its dual has coplanar pentagrammic faces.

3D model of a great hexagonal hexecontahedron

Proportions

The faces are nonconvex hexagons. Denoting the golden ratio by ${\displaystyle \phi }$, the hexagons have one angle of ${\displaystyle \arccos(-\phi ^{-1})\approx 128.172\,707\,627\,01^{\circ }}$, one of ${\displaystyle 360^{\circ }-\arccos(-\phi ^{-1})\approx 231.827\,292\,372\,99^{\circ }}$, and four angles of ${\displaystyle 90^{\circ }}$. They have two long edges, two of medium length and two short ones. If the long edges have length ${\displaystyle 2}$, the medium ones have length ${\displaystyle 1+\phi ^{-3/2}\approx 1.485\,868\,271\,76}$ and the short ones ${\displaystyle 1-\phi ^{-3/2}\approx 0.514\,131\,728\,24}$. The dihedral angle equals ${\displaystyle 90^{\circ }}$.
