3D model of a trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron

In geometry, the trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J75). It contains 20 triangles, 30 squares and 12 pentagons. It is also a canonical polyhedron.

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.[1]

It can be constructed as a rhombicosidodecahedron with three pentagonal cupolae rotated through 36 degrees. Related Johnson solids are:
