s, 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−1/√5), ±2τ, ±√(τ/√5))
- (±(√(τ−1/√5)−τ2), ±1, ±(√(τ/√5)+τ))
- (±(√(τ−1/√5)−τ), ±τ2, ±(√(τ/√5)+1))
- (±(√(τ−1/√5)+τ), ±τ2, ±(√(τ/√5)−1))
- (±(√(τ−1/√5)+τ2), ±1, ±(√(τ/√5)−τ))
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio
Golden ratio
In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. The golden ratio is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.61803398874989...
