Geometry
Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....

, the small dodecahemidodecacron is the dual of the small dodecahemidodecahedron
Small dodecahemidodecahedron
In geometry, the small dodecahemidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U51. Its vertex figure alternates two regular pentagons and decagons as a crossed quadrilateral....

Small icosihemidodecacron
In geometry, the small icosihemidodecacron is the dual of the small icosihemidodecahedron, and is one of nine dual hemipolyhedra. It appears visually indistinct from the small dodecahemidodecacron....

Since the small dodecahemidodecahedron has six decagon
Decagon
In geometry, a decagon is any polygon with ten sides and ten angles, and usually refers to a regular decagon, having all sides of equal length and each internal angle equal to 144°...

Face (geometry)
In geometry, a face of a polyhedron is any of the polygons that make up its boundaries. For example, any of the squares that bound a cube is a face of the cube...

's Dual Models, they are represented with intersecting infinite prisms
Prism (geometry)
In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron with an n-sided polygonal base, a translated copy , and n other faces joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the base faces are the same. Prisms are named for their base, so a prism with a pentagonal base is called a...
