In geometry, the snub dodecadodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U40. It is given a Schläfli symbol s{5/2,5}, as a snub great dodecahedron.
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a snub dodecadodecahedron are all the even permutations of
with an even number of plus signs, where
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden mean and α is the positive real root of τα4−α3+2α2−α−1/τ, or approximately 0.7964421. Taking the odd permutations of the above coordinates with an odd number of plus signs gives another form, the enantiomorph of the other one.
