The great snub icosidodecahedron or gosid is a uniform polyhedron. It consists of 60 snub triangles, 20 additional triangles, and 12 pentagrams. Four triangles and one pentagram meeting at each vertex.

Measures[edit | edit source]

The circumradius R ≈ 0.81608 of the great snub icosidodecahedron with unit edge length is the second to largest real root of:

Its volume V ≈ 7.67391 is given by the second to largest real root of:

These same polynomials define the circumradii and volumes of the snub dodecahedron, the great inverted snub icosidodecahedron, and the great inverted retrosnub icosidodecahedron.
