In geometry, the snub icosidodecadodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U₄₆. It has 104 faces (80 triangles, 12 pentagons, and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices.^[1] As the name indicates, it belongs to the family of snub polyhedra.

Let ${\displaystyle \rho \approx 1.3247179572447454}$ be the real zero of the polynomial ${\displaystyle x^{3}-x-1}$. The number ${\displaystyle \rho }$ is known as the plastic ratio. Denote by ${\displaystyle \phi }$ the golden ratio. Let the point ${\displaystyle p}$ be given by

${\displaystyle p={\begin{pmatrix}\rho \\\phi ^{2}\rho ^{2}-\phi ^{2}\rho -1\\-\phi \rho ^{2}+\phi ^{2}\end{pmatrix))}$.

Let the matrix ${\displaystyle M}$ be given by

${\displaystyle M={\begin{pmatrix}1/2&-\phi /2&1/(2\phi )\\\phi /2&1/(2\phi )&-1/2\\1/(2\phi )&1/2&\phi /2\end{pmatrix))}$.

${\displaystyle M}$ is the rotation around the axis ${\displaystyle (1,0,\phi )}$ by an angle of ${\displaystyle 2\pi /5}$, counterclockwise. Let the linear transformations ${\displaystyle T_{0},\ldots ,T_{11))$ be the transformations which send a point ${\displaystyle (x,y,z)}$ to the even permutations of ${\displaystyle (\pm x,\pm y,\pm z)}$ with an even number of minus signs. The transformations ${\displaystyle T_{i))$ constitute the group of rotational symmetries of a regular tetrahedron. The transformations ${\displaystyle T_{i}M^{j))$ ${\displaystyle (i=0,\ldots ,11}$, ${\displaystyle j=0,\ldots ,4)}$ constitute the group of rotational symmetries of a regular icosahedron. Then the 60 points ${\displaystyle T_{i}M^{j}p}$ are the vertices of a snub icosidodecadodecahedron. The edge length equals ${\displaystyle 2{\sqrt {\phi ^{2}\rho ^{2}-2\phi -1))}$, the circumradius equals ${\displaystyle {\sqrt {(\phi +2)\rho ^{2}+\rho -3\phi -1))}$, and the midradius equals ${\displaystyle {\sqrt {\rho ^{2}+\rho -\phi ))}$.

For a snub icosidodecadodecahedron whose edge length is 1, the circumradius is

${\displaystyle R={\frac {1}{2)){\sqrt {\rho ^{2}+\rho +2))\approx 1.126897912799939}$

Its midradius is

${\displaystyle r={\frac {1}{2)){\sqrt {\rho ^{2}+\rho +1))\approx 1.0099004435452335}$
