Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of an inverted snub dodecadodecahedron are all the even permutations of

$${\displaystyle {\begin{array}{crrrc}{\Bigl (}&\pm \,2\alpha \ ,&\pm \,2\ ,&\pm \,2\beta \ &{\Bigr )},\\[2pt]{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}\alpha +{\frac {\beta }{\varphi ))+\varphi {\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}-\alpha \varphi +\beta +{\frac {1}{\varphi )){\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}{\frac {\alpha }{\varphi ))+\beta \varphi -1{\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )},\\[2pt]{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}-{\frac {\alpha }{\varphi ))+\beta \varphi +1{\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}-\alpha +{\frac {\beta }{\varphi ))-\varphi {\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}\alpha \varphi +\beta -{\frac {1}{\varphi )){\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )},\\[2pt]{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}-{\frac {\alpha }{\varphi ))+\beta \varphi -1{\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}\alpha -{\frac {\beta }{\varphi ))-\varphi {\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}\alpha \varphi +\beta +{\frac {1}{\varphi )){\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )},\\[2pt]{\Bigl (}&\pm {\bigl [}\alpha +{\frac {\beta }{\varphi ))-\varphi {\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}\alpha \varphi -\beta +{\frac {1}{\varphi )){\bigr ]},&\pm {\bigl [}{\frac {\alpha }{\varphi ))+\beta \varphi +1{\bigr ]}&{\Bigr )},\end{array))}$$

with an even number of plus signs, where

$${\displaystyle \beta ={\frac {\ \ {\frac {\alpha ^{2)){\varphi ))+\varphi \ \ }{\ \alpha \varphi -{\frac {1}{\varphi ))))\ ,}$$

${\displaystyle \varphi ={\tfrac {1+{\sqrt {5))}{2))}$

$${\displaystyle \varphi \alpha ^{4}-\alpha ^{3}+2\alpha ^{2}-\alpha -{\frac {1}{\varphi ))\quad \implies \quad \alpha \approx -0.3352090.}$$

The medial inverted pentagonal hexecontahedron (or midly petaloid ditriacontahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the uniform inverted snub dodecadodecahedron. Its faces are irregular nonconvex pentagons, with one very acute angle.

Proportions

Denote the golden ratio by ${\displaystyle \phi }$, and let ${\displaystyle \xi \approx -0.236\,993\,843\,45}$ be the largest (least negative) real zero of the polynomial ${\displaystyle P=8x^{4}-12x^{3}+5x+1}$. Then each face has three equal angles of ${\displaystyle \arccos(\xi )\approx 103.709\,182\,219\,53^{\circ ))$, one of ${\displaystyle \arccos(\phi ^{2}\xi +\phi )\approx 3.990\,130\,423\,41^{\circ ))$ and one of ${\displaystyle 360^{\circ }-\arccos(\phi ^{-2}\xi -\phi ^{-1})\approx 224.882\,322\,917\,99^{\circ ))$. Each face has one medium length edge, two short and two long ones. If the medium length is ${\displaystyle 2}$, then the short edges have length

$${\displaystyle 1-{\sqrt {\frac {1-\xi }{\phi ^{3}-\xi ))}\approx 0.474\,126\,460\,54,}$$

$${\displaystyle 1+{\sqrt {\frac {1-\xi }{\phi ^{-3}-\xi ))}\approx 37.551\,879\,448\,54.}$$

${\displaystyle \arccos(\xi /(\xi +1))\approx 108.095\,719\,352\,34^{\circ ))$
