The great disdyakis dodecahedron is a uniform dual polyhedron. It consists of 48 scalene triangles.

If its dual, the great cubicuboctahedron, has an edge length of 1, then the short edges of the triangles will measure $3{\frac {\sqrt {6\left(2-{\sqrt {2}}\right)}}{7}}\approx 0.80347$, the medium edges will be $2{\frac {\sqrt {3\left(10+{\sqrt {2}}\right)}}{7}}\approx 1.67192$, and the long edges will be $2{\frac {\sqrt {6\left(10-{\sqrt {2}}\right)}}{7}}\approx 2.05068$. The triangles have one interior angle of $\arccos \left({\frac {6+{\sqrt {2}}}{8}}\right)\approx 22.06219^{\circ }$, one of $\arccos \left(-{\frac {2+{\sqrt {2}}}{12}}\right)\approx 106.53003^{\circ }$, and one of $\arccos \left({\frac {-1+6{\sqrt {2}}}{12}}\right)\approx 51.40778^{\circ }$.

Vertex coordinates

A great disdyakis dodecahedron with dual edge length 1 has vertex coordinates given by all permutations of:

• $\left(\pm 3{\frac {3{\sqrt {2}}-2}{7}},\,0,\,0\right),$
• $\left(\pm 3{\frac {2{\sqrt {2}}-1}{7}},\,\pm 3{\frac {2{\sqrt {2}}-1}{7}},\,0\right),$
• $\left(\pm {\sqrt {2}},\,\pm {\sqrt {2}},\,\pm {\sqrt {2}}\right).$
