Constructing a Rhombicosidodecahedron (V=60) via Trisection of 9th-Order Segment
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how to construct a Rhombicosidodecahedron (with volume parameter V=60) from a biscribed Pentakis Dodecahedron by applying trisection to its 9th-order segments (Variant2). The construction showcases 3D solid geometry with strong symmetry: reflection/placement rules, relationships to circumcircle or circumscribed-circle features, and dilation (scaling) to control the geometry’s size. Key mathematical ideas include the parametric subdivision of geometric edges/segments, mapping discrete parameters to vertices/edges of a higher-complex polyhedron, and computing volume-related quantities to confirm the target metric. In GeoGebra, the workflow leverages commands and data objects indicated in the construction summary: Text for annotations, Sequence for generating parameter lists, If and Div for conditional logic and segmentation, Length for measurements, Element/IndexOf/First to retrieve indexed values from constructed lists, and TableText to present computed/aggregated results. Volume/scale variables such as Volsphere, Vol, Vol_r, and Volsphere_d are used to organize and validate the final construction. Suitable for advanced high school or university-level solid geometry, symmetry/transformations, and GeoGebra parametric modeling practice.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Construct a Rhombicosidodecahedron with volume parameter V=60, featuring 60 vertices. Generate this polyhedron by trisecting 9th-order segments of a biscribed Pentakis Dodecahedron. Display the symmetry properties including reflection transformations and placement rules, along with circumcircle relationships. Include scaling via dilation to control size. Compute and annotate: total vertex count n, average distance p, the distribution of k-gon faces with their quantities, and the final computed volume.
