1. What is the Short Edge of Pentagonal Hexecontahedron?

The Short Edge of Pentagonal Hexecontahedron is the length of the shortest edge which is the base and middle edge of the axial-symmetric pentagonal faces of the Pentagonal Hexecontahedron.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ l_{e(Short)} = \frac{l_{e(Snub\ Dodecahedron)}}{\sqrt{2+2 \times 0.4715756}} \]

Where:

\( l_{e(Short)} \) — Short Edge of Pentagonal Hexecontahedron (m)
\( l_{e(Snub\ Dodecahedron)} \) — Snub Dodecahedron Edge (m)

Explanation: This formula calculates the short edge length based on the given snub dodecahedron edge length using a specific mathematical relationship.

3. Importance of Short Edge Calculation

Details: Accurate calculation of the short edge is crucial for geometric modeling, 3D design, and mathematical analysis of pentagonal hexecontahedron structures.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the snub dodecahedron edge length in meters. The value must be positive and valid.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a Pentagonal Hexecontahedron?
