I am trying to build a wire-frame model and I'm looking for the angle of the hex-hex edge compared to the adjoining pentagon face, and the pent-hex edge to the adjoining hexagon face. Are there any good math resources to find these? I would prefer formulas, but angle measurements would be sufficient.

According to an old book I have here, the ratio of the length of an edge of a truncated icosahedron to the radius of a CIRCUMSCRIBED sphere is 2*sin(theta/2), where theta is the angle subtended by an edge (in this case, about 23° 17'), or about 0.4036. For an inscribed or "interscribed" sphere,

I already know the dihedral angles, I need the angles made by the edges leaving the face, not the edges of the face. For example, if a pentagon is sitting flat on a table, at what angle does the hex-hex edge (the edge that goes to the next pentagon) need to be relative to the table?
530:
P.S. You could get the same result from the data provided in the article, that the radius of the circumscribed sphere is sqrt(9φ + 10) (where "φ"=φ = (1+√5)/2) when the edges have length 2. My calculator gives 0.40354821233519770308113433897167 as the ratio...

I tried playing around with layout--in IE on my screen there are weird white spaces that I can't seem to correct. (The white spaces were there even before I edited it.) It looks OK in Opera, but even there the football pic winds up all alone under the table.

429:. Truncated means you take a polyhedron and slice off the corners, cutting original edges into 1/3rds, so middle third of original edges remain and original faces get doubled - triangles into hexagons in this case. 494: 953: 741:
of the truncated icosahedral graph is 2, but this is wrong, since it is not a bipartite graph. On the other hand, since it is planar, the chromatic number must be no greater than 4. So is it 3 or 4?

Ok I need to add that there's a formula that follows 10E8 which shows that if a fullerene is to the soccer ball as the soccer ball is to the earth.. someone please articulate this and add it thanks!
