Great inverted snub icosidodecahedron
The great inverted snub icosidodecahedron or gisid, is a uniform polyhedron. It consists of 60 snub triangles, 20 additional triangles, and 12 pentagrams. Four triangles and one pentagram meet at each vertex. It can be constructed by alternation of the great quasitruncated icosidodecahedron after setting all edge lengths to be equal.

MeasuresEdit
The circumradius R ≈ 0.64502 of the great inverted snub icosidodecahedron with unit edge length is the second to smallest positive real root of:
Its volume V ≈ 2.71387 is given by the second to smallest positive real root of:
These same polynomials define the circumradii and volumes of the snub dodecahedron, the great snub icosidodecahedron, and the great inverted retrosnub icosidodecahedron.
