dodecahedron

Pentagon-faced Platonic solid

A dodecahedron is a three-dimensional shape with twelve flat faces.

In its regular form—one of the five Platonic solids—each face is a regular pentagon.

The shape appears in geometry textbooks, certain dice, and occasionally in nature.

The d12 is a dodecahedron.
