Type | zonohedron Zonohedron A zonohedron is a convex polyhedron where every face is a polygon with point symmetry or, equivalently, symmetry under rotations through 180°. Any zonohedron may equivalently be described as the Minkowski sum of a set of line segments in three-dimensional space, or as the three-dimensional... |
Face polygon | rhombus Rhombus In Euclidean geometry, a rhombus or rhomb is a convex quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. The rhombus is often called a diamond, after the diamonds suit in playing cards, or a lozenge, though the latter sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 45° angle.Every... |
Faces | 90 rhombi: (60 wide and 30 narrow) |
Edges | 180 |

with a superficial resemblance to the rhombic triacontahedron
Rhombic triacontahedron
In geometry, the rhombic triacontahedron is a convex polyhedron with 30 rhombic faces. It is an Archimedean dual solid, or a Catalan solid. It is the polyhedral dual of the icosidodecahedron, and it is a zonohedron....

The sixty broad rhombic faces in the rhombic enneacontahedron are identical to those in the rhombic dodecahedron
Rhombic dodecahedron
In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 rhombic faces. It is an Archimedean dual solid, or a Catalan solid. Its dual is the cuboctahedron.-Properties:...
, with diagonals in a ratio of 1 to the square root of 2. The face angles of these rhombi are approximately 70.53° and 109.47°. The thirty slim rhombic faces have face angles of 41.81° and 138.19°; the diagonals are in ratio of 1 to φ2
