Details

This assembly can be used to facilitate recalling certain geometrical facts, such as:

1. The rhombic enneacontahedron is bordered by 60 fat rhombi (with diagonal ratio equal to ) and 30 thin rhombi (with diagonal ratio equal to , where is the golden ratio).

2. The thin rhombi coincide with the faces of the rhombic triacontahedron.
