The Great Rhombicosidodecahedron
A semi-regular polyhedron with a square, a hexagon, and a decagon meeting at each vertex.
The great rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the thirteen archimedian solids. Each of its faces belongs to one of three circubscribing solids: the dodecahedron, the icosahedron, and the Rhombic Triacontahedron.

Edge ratios:
- `e/rho = sqrt(2)/sqrt(3) tan(18^@) = sqrt((10-4sqrt(5))/15)`
- `e/R = 2sqrt((31-12sqrt(5))/241)`
- `e/(e_12) = (1+sqrt(5))/10`
- `e/(e_20) = (sqrt(5)-1)/6`
- `e/(d_30) = (7-sqrt(5))/22`
where `e` is the edge length, `rho` is the inter-radius, `R` is the circum-radius, `e_12` is the edge of the circumscribing dodecahedron, `e_20` is the edge of the circumscribing icosahedron, and `d_30` is the long face diagonal of the circumscribing rhombic triacontahedron.
