What are Platonic Solids?
In three-dimensional space, a Platonic solid is a regular, convex polyhedron. It is constructed by congruent (identical in shape and size), regular (all angles equal and all sides equal), polygonal faces with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. Five solids who meet this criteria are Tetrahedron {3,3} , Cube {4,3} , Octahedron {3,4} , Dodecahedron {5,3} , Icosahedron {3,5} ; where in {p, q}, p represents the number of edges in a face and q represents the number of edges meeting at a vertex; {p, q} is the Schläfli symbol.
How to Calculate Lateral Surface Area of Icosahedron?
Lateral Surface Area of Icosahedron calculator uses Lateral Surface Area of Icosahedron = 9*sqrt(3)/2*Edge Length of Icosahedron^2 to calculate the Lateral Surface Area of Icosahedron, The Lateral Surface Area of Icosahedron formula is defined as the quantity of plane enclosed by all the lateral surfaces (that is, top and bottom faces are excluded) of the Icosahedron. Lateral Surface Area of Icosahedron is denoted by LSA symbol.
