The Long Edge of Pentagonal Icositetrahedron is the length of the longest edge which is the top edge of the axial-symmetric pentagonal faces of Pentagonal Icositetrahedron. It is a key geometric parameter in this complex polyhedral structure.
The calculator uses the specialized formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula relates the long edge length to the surface-to-volume ratio using the mathematical properties of the Tribonacci constant and geometric relationships specific to the pentagonal icositetrahedron.
Details: Calculating the long edge is crucial for understanding the geometric properties, structural integrity, and mathematical characteristics of pentagonal icositetrahedrons in crystallography, materials science, and mathematical geometry studies.
Tips: Enter the Surface to Volume Ratio (SA:V) in 1/m. The value must be positive and valid for accurate calculation of the long edge length.
Q1: What is a Pentagonal Icositetrahedron?
A: A pentagonal icositetrahedron is a Catalan solid with 24 pentagonal faces, 60 edges, and 38 vertices. It is the dual of the snub cube.
Q2: What is the Tribonacci constant?
A: The Tribonacci constant is the real root of the equation x³ - x² - x - 1 = 0, approximately equal to 1.839286755214161.
Q3: Why is the Tribonacci constant used in this formula?
A: The Tribonacci constant appears naturally in the mathematical relationships governing the geometry of pentagonal icositetrahedrons and their geometric properties.
Q4: What are typical SA:V values for Pentagonal Icositetrahedrons?
A: The surface-to-volume ratio depends on the specific dimensions and scaling of the polyhedron, but typically ranges based on the geometric configuration.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for other polyhedrons?
A: No, this specific formula is designed exclusively for pentagonal icositetrahedrons due to their unique geometric properties and mathematical relationships.
