    Truncated icosahedron - Wikipedia

    In geometry, the truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron that can be constructed by truncating all of the regular icosahedron's vertices. Intuitively, it may be regarded as footballs (or soccer balls) that are typically patterned with white hexagons and black pentagons. It can be found in the application of geodesic dome … See more

    The truncated icosahedron can be constructed from a regular icosahedron by cutting off all of its vertices, known as truncation. … See more
