What is the name of a 3d pentagon soccer ball?
A regular 3-d figure formed from pentagons is a dodecahedron (12 faces). However, a soccer ball is not a 3-d shape formed from only regular pentagon. Instead it comprises 12 regular pentagons (usually black) and 20 regular hexagons (white).
How many vertices are in a 3 d pentagon?
The 3-d figure formed from regular pentagons is the dodecahedron which has 20 vertices.
How many edges are in a 3 D pentagon have?
The 3D shape formed by regular pentagons is a dodecahedron, which has 30 edges.
How many pentagons tessellate to make a 3d shape?
Tessellation is covering a 2-d surface. Tessellation and making a 3-d shape are not compatible processes. 12 regular pentagons will form a dodecahedron.
What is a 12 with pentagon sided 3d shape called?
A dodecahedron is a 3-d shape with 12 faces that are regular pentagons.
How many sides are the same in a pentagon?
In geometry, "regular" means all the sides are the same (and all angles the same). A regular pentagon has all 5 sides the same. Some pentagons have every side different; other irregular pentagons have 2, 3, 4, or 5 sides the same.
What shape can tessellate with a regular pentagon?
hexagons work because each angle is 120 degress, as you say, and 3 times 120 equals 360 degrees. So three hexagons will surround a point with no 'space" left over. but the interior angle of a pentagon is108 degrees. three pentagons together only fill up 3 time 108, or 324 degrees. There is space left over. But four pentagons would overlap. so 3 is not enough and 4 is too many. Pentagons cannot surround a point the way hexagons do.
How many one to one correspondences could be listed between the vertices of two regular pentagons?
There are 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 possibilities.

Why cant a regular pentagon be used to create a regular tessellation?
it can tessellate * * * * * NO IT CANNOT! A regular polygon can be used to create a regular tesselation if and only if its interior angle divides 360 degrees. The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees, which does not divide 360 degrees so it cannot be used for a regular tesselation. . Three pentagons meeting at a point would cover 3*108 = 324 degrees - not enough to cover the 360 degrees at a point. Meanwhile 4 pentagons would cover 4*108 = 432 degrees - resulting in a 72 degree overlap.
How many sides does 3 pentagons have?
15
What regular polygons can be put in a tessellation?
Regular polygons with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
