Exact Coordinates of Golden Rhombic Solids

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration gives exact coordinates of various golden rhombic solids. Using three golden rectangles, the coordinates of the vertices of the regular icosahedron are ,
, or
, where
is the golden ratio. The coordinates of all of the golden rhombic solids are constructed by adding vectors, so their coordinates are of the form
, where
and
are integers.
