Hello guys,
I need the normals of a Dodecahedron (fully symmetric 12 facets' polyhedron) given in rational numbers. I got tired searching the internet for that, so I expect something like:
{-Sqrt[1 + 2/Sqrt[5]], 0, 1/2 Sqrt[1/10 (5 - Sqrt[5])]]}
I tried Mathematica, but it gives 20 Faces for a Dodecahedron! Apparently there are repeated facets and it uses some systematic way to draw the Dodecahedron. The code I use to get the Facets in Mathematica is:
PolyhedronData["Dodecahedron", "Faces"]
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
