Modeling a Rhombicosidodecahedron

Modeling a rhombicosidodecahedron requires exploding and extending the faces of a dodecahedron and an icosahedron of the same edge length. We begin with both polyhedra centered at the same point. Then, we explode the faces of the dodecahedron and icosahedron outward from the center. We extend their planes while maintaining their orientation and shape. As these faces extend, they intersect and form new polygonal regions. Triangular and pentagonal faces emerge naturally from the extended faces of the dodecahedron and icosahedron, respectively. The extended faces from the dodecahedron form pentagons, while those from the icosahedron form triangles. Once these faces are in place, fill the remaining gaps with square faces. This will create a polyhedron with 20 triangular faces, 30 square faces, and 12 pentagonal faces, resulting in the complete rhombicosidodecahedron.
