Truncated icosahedron

Uncommon card · No. 186496

In geometry, the truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron that can be constructed by truncating all of the regular icosahedron's vertices. The polyhedron can be regarded as a football (UK English) or a soccer ball (US English), typically patterned with white hexagons and black pentagons. Geodesic dome structures, such as those whose architecture Buckminster Fuller pioneered, are often based on this structure. It is an example of an Archimedean solid, as well as a Goldberg polyhedron.
