Rhombic enneacontahedron
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
Vertices 92
Faces per vertex 3, 5, and 6
Symmetry group
Symmetry group
The symmetry group of an object is the group of all isometries under which it is invariant with composition as the operation...

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
