This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 6 decagonal prisms, aligned with the axes of fivefold rotational symmetry of a dodecahedron.
Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of
- (±√(τ/√5), ±2τ, ±√(τ/√5))
- (±(√(τ/√5)−τ), ±1, ±(√(τ/√5)+τ))
- (±(√(τ/√5)−τ), ±τ, ±(√(τ/√5)+1))
- (±(√(τ/√5)+τ), ±τ, ±(√(τ/√5)−1))
- (±(√(τ/√5)+τ), ±1, ±(√(τ/√5)−τ))
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
