The golden ratio, phi occurs many places in the platonic solids. The dihedral angle on the dodecahedron is 2*atan(phi), and the dihedral angle on the icosahedron is 2*atan(phi2) or 2*atan(phi + 1). The mid radius of the dodecahedron is similarly phi2/2 or (phi + 1)/2, and the mid radius on the icosahedron is phi/2. There are several other measures within Platonic solids which involve phi.
