It need not have any. Like tennis balls, they can be made up of non-polygonal shapes.
Ah, what a lovely question! With 12 pentagons on a soccer ball, you'll find 90 seams holding them all together. Each pentagon is surrounded by five hexagons, and each edge of a pentagon is shared with another pentagon, creating those beautiful seams that give the ball its shape and structure. Just imagine all those seams coming together to create something wonderful, like brushstrokes on a canvas!
This depends on the type of prism. If the shapes on the ends are pentagons, the prism has 6 planes of symmetry. If they are hexagons, it has 13 planes of symmetry. It has the same number of planes of symmetry as the shapes on the end have lines of symmetry, plus 1.
The answer depends on how many lines are shared by pentagons. There are at most 160 line segments.
If you are thinking of a solid with pentagonal faces, a dodecahedron, there are twelve pentagons

On the 32-panel soccer ball, there are 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.
On a soccer ball there are 12 pentagons and any practical number of hexagons that can make the soccer ball look spherical.
On an official soccer ball you will find 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. There are 60 points in which the corners of the hexagons and the hexagons connect, and the hexagons and the pentagons connect. The 20 hexagons are white, while the 12 pentagons are white.
A modern soccer ball consists of 32 panels, 20 of which are hexagons, and 12 of which are pentagons.
It has 20 pentagons and 12 hexagons so it has a total of 32 leather panels
A soccer ball with 12 regular hexagons and 20 regular pentagons follows the pattern of a truncated icosahedron. Each hexagon has 6 edges, and each pentagon has 5 edges. Therefore, the total number of edges on the soccer ball can be calculated by multiplying the number of hexagons by 6 and the number of pentagons by 5, then adding these products together. Total edges = (12 hexagons * 6 edges per hexagon) + (20 pentagons * 5 edges per pentagon) Total edges = 72 + 100 Total edges = 172 Therefore, a soccer ball with 12 regular hexagons and 20 regular pentagons has 172 edges.
An official soccer ball with hexagons and pentagons used as the pattern to cover it's internal rubber bladder consists of 32 panels. (There are other patterns available.)The 32 panel pattern is as follows:each pentagon is surrounded by five hexagonsthree pentagons touch each hexagon, each pentagon is separated by one of the sides of the hexagonthe lengths of the sides of the hexagons and pentagons are the sameThis being said, on an official soccer ball there are 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons.
32 sides 12 pentagons 20 hexagons
A soccer ball (a.k.a. a truncated icosahedron) does have 12 pentagonal faces but does not have 12 hexagonal faces, it has 20. It will have 60 vertices.
32 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. the solid structure is called truncated icosahedron. the rotational group of a soccer ball is isomorphic to A5..
None, they're all curved. A classic football (seldom used anymore) has 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. The current Adidas Jabulani has 8 panels.
There are actually many different types of soccer balls, they don't have to have those exact specifications. Though commonly that is what you see sold today. The shape created by 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons is a spherical polyhedron, which has the dynamics to withstand pressure displacement. The shape is also considered to be the basics of the dome, with its carbon like structure. So the short answer is the shape created by your specifications makes the ball dynamically sound, though those are not the only dynamically sound specifications for soccer balls.
