Noun[edit]
icosidodecahedron (plural icosidodecahedra or icosidodecahedrons)
- An Archimedean solid with thirty-two regular faces (twelve pentagons and twenty triangles).
- 1961, The New Yorker, Volume 37, Part 4, page 172:
- […] together to form not only regular polyhedrons but rhombicosidodecahedrons, truncated icosidodecahedrons, and such.

- A succession of 10 concentric icosidodecahedra centered at (0, 0, 0), forming a geometric sequence (the nth one is τn larger than the first one), is also put into evidence.
- 2004, David Darling, The Universal Book of Mathematics: From Abracadabra to Zeno's Paradoxes[1], page 263:
- The edges of the octahedron form three squares; the edges of the cuboctahedron form four hexagons, and the edges of the icosidodecahedron form six decagons.
- 2004, Marc-Alain Ouaknin, The Mystery of Numbers, unnumbered page:
- Thus, there is a star octahedron, three star dodecahedrons, and fifty-nine star icosidodecahedrons.
- 2009, Walter Steurer, Sofia Deloudi, Crystallography of Quasicrystals: Concepts, Methods and Structures, page 306:
- The dark-gray (online: red) icosahedra are part of the B clusters, the light-gray dodecahedra of the B’ clusters, and the (online: blue) icosidodecahedra of the M clusters.
- 2010, Debra Ann Ross, Master Math: Geometry, Cengage Learning, page 306:
- Polyhedrons include prisms; pyramids; the Platonic solids, including tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons; the Archimedean solids, such as cuboctahedrons and icosidodecahedrons; and the Johnson solids, such as square pyramids and triangular cupolas (dome-shape).
