Small rhombicosidodecahedron

The small rhombicosidodecahedron, or srid, also commonly known as simply the rhombicosidodecahedron, is one of the 13 Archimedean solids. It consists of 20 triangles, 30 squares, and 12 pentagons, with 1 triangle, 2 squares, and 1 pentagon meeting at each vertex. It can be obtained by cantellation of the dodecahedron or icosahedron, or equivalently by expanding either polyhedron's faces outward.

Vertex coordinates
A small rhombicosidodecahedron of edge length 1 has vertex coordinates given by all permutations of along with all even permutations of
 * (±(2+$\sqrt{11+4√5}$)/2, ±1/2, ±1/2),
 * (0, ±(3+$\sqrt{5}$)/4, ±(5+$\sqrt{2}$)/4),
 * (±(1+$\sqrt{5}$)/4, ±(1+$\sqrt{2}$)/2, ±(3+$\sqrt{3}$)/4).

Related polyhedra
It is possible to cut off a pentagonal cupola cap from the rhombicosidodecahedron to diminish it, or to gyrate any such cap by 36º (so squares connect to other squares, and triangles connect to pentagons). The various combinations of diminishings and gyrations lead to a total of 12 Johnson solids:


 * Gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron - One cap rotated
 * Parabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron - Two opposite caps rotated
 * Metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron - Two non-opposite, non-adjacent caps rotated
 * Trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron - Three non-adjacent caps rotated
 * Diminished rhombicosidodecahedron - One cap removed
 * Paragyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron - One cap removed, the opposite cap rotated
 * Metagyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron - One cap removed, another non-opposite, non-adjacent cap rotated
 * Bigyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron - One cap removed, two more non-adjacent ones rotated
 * Parabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron - Two opposite caps removed
 * Metabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron - Two non-adjacent, non-opposite caps removed
 * Gyrate bidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron - Two non-opposite caps removed, a third non-adjacent one rotated
 * Tridiminished rhombicosidodecahedron - Three non-adjacent caps removed
