182 2 or ri (ri a 2 )2 3 4 a2 2 i.e. ri a 2 ri a2 4 ri a (1 5) 4 or r i We can remark in passing that the ratio of ri to a is and therefore that the rectangle 2 APH 'O is a golden rectangle and that consequently the same will obtain for LPFM , as shown in fig. 26. Similarly, the duality of icosahedron and dodecahedron ensures that rectangle A B F E on fig. 45 is a golden rectangle, again as shown on fig. 25B. a 2 Replacing in (11) and taking the square root: 2 2 a R ri 4 a 2 2 1 or R a 2 2 with 2 0 5 5 2
183 and finally R a 4 Therefore a 2(5 5) (12) 4 R 2(5 5 ) Multiplying top and bottom by 5 5 : a 10 5 5 5R (13) Again, similarly to the case of the dodecahedron, we have for the icosahedron, directly from fig. 56 And, remarking that or DF OF sin I i 2 a 2 Rsin I i 2 sin I i 2 1 2 we readily obtain equations (12) and (13), again confirming our previous results.
