Relations between Golden Rhombic Solids and Some Archimedean Solids
This Demonstration shows relations between the Platonic/Archimedean solids icosahedron, dodecahedron, icosidodecahedron, rhombicosidodecahedron, truncated dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron, and great rhombicosidodecahedron and certain golden rhombic solids. A golden rhombic solid is a solid whose faces are golden rhombi and solids that we get from golden rhombic solids by truncation of halves of rhombic dodecahedra of the second kind. The lengths of the edges of the Platonic or Archimedean solids equal the lengths of the shorter or larger diagonals of the golden rhombus.
