A '''dodecahedron''' is any [[polyhedron]] with twelve faces, but usually a '''regular dodecahedron''' is meant: a [[Platonic solid]] composed of twelve regular [[pentagon]]al faces, with three meeting at each vertex. It has twenty (20) vertices and thirty (30) edges. Its [[dual polyhedron]] is the [[icosahedron]]. To the ancient [[Greeks]], the dodecahedron was a [[Platonic solid#History|symbol of the universe]]. If one were to make every one of the Platonic solids with edges of the same length, the dodecahedron would be the largest. | A '''dodecahedron''' is any [[polyhedron]] with twelve faces, but usually a '''regular dodecahedron''' is meant: a [[Platonic solid]] composed of twelve regular [[pentagon]]al faces, with three meeting at each vertex.
