it is the mathimatical name for a football.
I believe that would be the truncated icosahedron! It is pentagons and hexagons, right? Here is a site with pictures:http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/rs/polyhedra.htm
A icosahedron is a polyhedron with 20 plane surfaces.
An icosahedron has 30 edges.
A truncated graph has on of its axes cut off or "truncated"
A truncated Octahedron has 36 edges.

12 faces on a truncated icosahedron are pentagons. (The other 20 faces are hexagons.)

It has 60 :)

It is a truncated icosahedron projected onto a sphere.
No. It is a semi-regular polyhedron. Explanation. The truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron that can be constructed from an icosahedron with the 12 vertices truncated (cut off) such that one third of each edge is cut off at each of both ends. This creates 12 new pentagon faces, and leaves the original 20 triangle faces as regular hexagons A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose faces are congruent regular polygons. The truncated icosahedron is NOT a regular polyhedron, it is a semiregular polyhedron. It is a uniform polyhedron.
A football is a truncated icosahedron consisting of 12 pentagons and 20 hegagons.
It's a polyhedron, so I guess that would be another way to describe it.
Footballs are not all the same.One shape that was used for footballs is the truncated icosahedron. The shape has 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. It has 32 faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges.Footballs are not all the same.One shape that was used for footballs is the truncated icosahedron.
