Surface Area of a Dodecahedron: 3 × √25 + 10 × √5 × a2 where a is the length of the side of the pentagon.
Volume of a Dodecahedron: 1/4 × (15 + 7 × √5) × a3 where a is the length of the side of the pentagon.
Dodecahedrons can be found in nature in the form of pyrite crystals and garnet crystals. They are also used in sports equipment, such as soccer balls and the shape of some dice in tabletop games.
