Truncated Icosahedron - Area and Volume

Area and Volume

The area A and the volume V of the truncated icosahedron of edge length a are:

\begin{align} A & = \left ( 20 \cdot \frac32\sqrt{3} + 12 \cdot \frac54\sqrt{ 1 + 2/\sqrt{5}} \right ) a^2 \approx 72.607253a^2 \\ V & = \frac{1}{4} (125+43\sqrt{5}) a^3 \approx 55.2877308a^3. \\ \end{align}

Famous quotes containing the words area and/or volume:

    “Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
    —Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)

    “Measured by any standard known to science—by horse-power, calories, volts, mass in any shape,—the tension and vibration and volume and so-called progression of society were full a thousand times greater in 1900 than in 1800;Mthe force had doubled ten times over, and the speed, when measured by electrical standards as in telegraphy, approached infinity, and had annihilated both space and time. No law of material movement applied to it.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
