The dodecahedron is a Platonic Solid with 12 equilateral pentagonal faces. It has a close relationship with its 20-sided dual, Icosahedron. Mete Tüneri showed the following method of Dodecahedron construction, using only distances, corners of the pentagon, and a visionary equilateral triangle underneath. We’ll construct Dodecahedron, assuming that we’ve drawn an initial equilateral pentagon. We need to find out the pentagon’s angle of 3d rotation. First, put spheres at points a and c, with a radius of a to c. The…

Today’s polyhedra is the beautiful icosahedron. It is one of the five Platonic Solids with twenty equilateral triangular faces. Its dual is the dodecahedron, which has pentagonal faces. Here, I explained the process of modeling an icosahedron. After creating a regular pentagon, you should find the “tip” point of the Icosahedron by intersecting spheres from at least three of the corner points with a radius of the pentagon’s edges. You can exercise Tetrahedron to understand how we find a point…

The tetrahedron is a platonic solid with four equal triangular faces (equilateral), six equal edges, and four vertices. In the construction of a tetrahedron, we will look closer at length transfers using compass-like tools in two- and three-dimensional space. To define the edge length of the first triangle, start with any two points in Cartesian space. Using a compass (arc or circle), draw two arches (or circles) using your initial points as corners and the distance between your points as…
