Each face on a dodecahedron is a pentagon.

A dodecahedron has 30 lines of symmetry. This is because each face of a dodecahedron is a regular pentagon, which has 5 lines of symmetry. Therefore, each face contributes 5 lines of symmetry, and since a dodecahedron has 12 faces, the total number of lines of symmetry is 5 x 12 = 30.
An icosahedron has 20 faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertexes. 5 polygons meet at each vertex and each face has 3 vertexes (therefore made of triangles). A dodecahedron has 12 faces, 30 edges, and 20 vertexes. 3 polygons meet at each vertex and each face has 5 vertexes (therefore made of pentagons).
The 3D shape that has 12 faces is called a dodecahedron. It is a polyhedron with 12 regular pentagonal faces. Each face of a dodecahedron is a regular polygon with five sides of equal length and five equal interior angles.
A regular dodecahedron, for example. Each face is a regular pentagon so no face has parallel sides. However, the edges on opposite faces are parallel to one another.
A dodecahedron has 12 regular pentagonal faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges. Three faces meet at each vertex.
