It's a 10 sided polygon.
Does anyone know what "Bucky Balls" are?
They're small magnetic balls that are very expensive lol. Not that expensive, just more than you'd like.
Anyways, a guy on youtube made a decahedron and displayed it.
My friends and I joked how many balls it took to make that. Then I realized I really wanted to figure it out.
Boring and mathematical? Fuck yeah..
But after everyone's gone to sleep and you can't debate philosophy with anyone then what else is there?
A rough explanation:
- Each side is 12 'balls' long
- There are 10 total faces to this shape
- You need the area to figure out the volume.
I don't know if I'm even correct but after a few hours of looking up formulas and making pretty diagrams I came to the total of: 1200 balls.
Isn't that weird? 10 faces and each side is 12 balls long. Coincidental.
I'm sure there is another 10 somewhere in there which would make 10*10*12=1200.
That would be a very each calculation.
I didn't go that route.
