Great Dodecahedron Formulas


Side length (\(\small{s}\))

\(\displaystyle s = \frac{a}{2} \cdot (\sqrt{5} - 1 )\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\; ≈ a \cdot 0.618\)

Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V=\frac{5}{4}\cdot a^3 \cdot (\sqrt{5} - 1)\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\; ≈ a^3 \cdot 1.545 \)

Surface area (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S= 15\cdot a^2 \cdot \sqrt{5 - 2\cdot \sqrt{5}}\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\; ≈ a^2 \cdot 10.9 \)

Circumference Radius (\(\small{r}\))

\(\displaystyle r=\frac{a}{4} \cdot \sqrt{10 + 2\cdot \sqrt{5}})\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\; ≈ a \cdot 0.951\)

Pyramid height (\(\small{h}\))

\(\displaystyle h = \frac{a}{6} \cdot \sqrt{3} \cdot (3 - \sqrt{5})\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\; ≈ a \cdot 0.221 \)
