Floret Pentagonal Tiling - Related Polyhedra and Tilings

Related Polyhedra and Tilings

This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of polyhedra of pentagons with face configurations (V3.3.3.3.n). (The sequence progresses into tilings the hyperbolic plane to any n.) These face-transitive figures have (n32) rotational symmetry.

Famous quotes containing the word related:

    “So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
