Decomposition of E5 - The Rhombicosidodecahedron

    E5 ≈ 6J91 ⊕ 8G3 ⊕ 12Y5 ⊕ (P4)

    The Rhombicosidodecahedron (E5) can be dissected into six Bilunabirotundas (J91), eight unnamed figures simply referred to as G3 (which is discussed on my Stewart G3 page), and twelve pentagonal pyramids (Y5) all around a central cube (P4).

    Additional Models:
  • Exploded view #1
  • Exploded view #2
  • E5 minus 12Y5
  • E5 minus 8G3
  • E5 minus 8G3 and 12Y5 - good view of the 6J91 arrangement.
  • E5 minus 6J91
  • E5 minus 6J91 and the central P4 - excellent toroid - genus 5.
  • E5 minus 6J91, 12Y5 and the central P4 - view of the eight 8G3 arrangement.
