The stellated dodecagon, or sedog, is a polygon compound composed of two hexagons. As such it has 12 edges and 12 vertices.

As the name suggests, it is the first stellation of the dodecagon.

Its quotient prismatic equivalent is the hexagonal antiprism, which is three-dimensional.

## Vertex coordinates

Coordinates for the vertices of a stellated dodecagon of edge length 1 centered at the origin are given by:

• ${\displaystyle \left(±\frac12,\,±\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right),}$
• ${\displaystyle \left(±1,\,0\right),}$
• ${\displaystyle \left(±\frac{\sqrt3}{2},\,±\frac12\right),}$
• ${\displaystyle \left(0,\,±1\right).}$
