A STEM Project: Constructing Da Vinci's Divine Proportion Polyhedra Models - Part 2 of 2

Plate XXXI - Plate XXXVIII of Da Vinci's Polyhedra Models

Plate XL - Plate LIX of Da Vinci's Polyhedra Models


Leonardo Da Vinci drew fifty nine polyhedra models.  The first thirty were included in my last blog post https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5237417144570156489/3612955597216858264. The remaining twenty nine polyhedra models will be posted here.

Here is the PDF. I used 65lb. cardstock and vellum.

Here is the .Studio file.

Here is the SVG.

I duplicated Da Vinci's drawings by constructing three-dimensional paper models. In my description, I will give the side length measure and describe each model based on the number of faces, edges and vertices using Euler's formula.  For any convex polyhedron, the number of vertices and faces together is exactly two more than the number of edges.   Vertices + Faces - Edges = 2

A face is a flat, two-dimensional surface that serves as one side of a polyhedron.

An edge is a line segment where two faces meet.

Vertices is the plural of vertex.  Vertices are corner points which are formed by the intersection of faces.
