Ciri-Ciri Pepejal Kepler-Poinsot

Minggu 13

Bentuk Pentagram
In geometry, a regular star polygon is a self-intersecting, equilateral equiangular polygon. Bentuk asas ialah pentagon

The Pentagram
Satu bucu bagi suatu poligon sekata p sisi (dalam contoh ini ialah pentagon) disambungkan kepada bucu yang tidak bersebelahan (non-adjacent) dan proses diulangi sehingga bucu asal ditemui semula.

STELLATION
In1619 Kepler defined stellation for polygons and polyhedra, as the process of extending edges or faces until they meet to form a new polygon or polyhedron.

Keplers Stellations
Kepler telah melakukan stellation ke atas dodekahedron Hasilnya ialah dua daripada polihedra Kepler-Poinsot (regular star polyhedra).

POLIHEDRA KEPLER

The Small Stellated Dodecahedron

The Small Stellated Dodecahedron

Membina SS Dodecahedron
Extend the edges of a face of a regular dodecahedron to obtain a pentagram. Repeat in this way for all twelve faces. A non-convex polyhedron, the small stellated dodecahedron, is formed. It has 12 faces (pentagrams), 12 vertices and 30 edges. Five faces meet in each vertex. The SS dodecahedron can be constructed by putting appropriated fivesided pyramids upon the faces of a dodecahedron. Each face of those pyramids is a "golden triangle"

The Golden Triangle

The Great Stellated Dodecahedron

Membina GS Dodecahedron
Consider one of the vertices of a regular icosahedron. The other endpoints of the five edges starting from the chosen vertex are the vertices of a pentagon. Extend the sides of this pentagon to obtain a pentagram. As the icosahedron has 12 vertices,12 pentagrams are formed. They are the faces of a nonconvex polyhedron, the great stellated dodecahedron. It has 12 faces (pentagrams), 20 vertices and 30 edges. Three faces meet in each vertex. The great stellated dodecahedron can be constructed by putting appropriated three-sided pyramids upon the faces of the given icoshedron. Each face of those pyramids is a "golden triangle" The vertices of the great stellated dodecahedron are also the vertices of a dodecahedron.

Consider one of the vertices of a regular icosahedron. The other endpoints of the five edges starting from the chosen vertex are the vertices of a pentagon. As the icosahedron has 12 vertices we obtain 12 pentagons, all situated inside the icosahedron. They are the faces of a a great dodecahedron. It has 12 faces (pentagons), 12 vertices and 30 edges. Three faces meet in each vertex. The great dodecahedron has the same vertices and edges as the original icosahedron.

Membina Great Icosahedron

Connect each vertex with its five "nearest neighbours" we obtain the edges of the icosahedron. Each vertex also has five "next nearest neighbours". Five combinations of the vertex chosen and two of its "next nearest neighbours" form equilateral triangles inside the icosahedron.

Membina Great Icosahedron

Each vertex belongs to five triangles and there are 20 equilateral triangles. They are the faces of a regular non-convex polyhedron, called a great icosahedron. It has 20 faces (triangles), 12 vertices and 30 edges. Five faces meet in each vertex.
