Thanks Sunnym. It wasn't what I was looking for but I appreciate the reply.

Otherwise... I don't see much point of this forum if you can't get math help on it. Maybe I don't see the forum right. Was my question not a math question?

I realized that the answer is here:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RhombicDodecahedron.html
I just couldn't read the symbols. There are two angles.
one is roughly 70.53 degrees and the other is roughly 109.47 degrees

Hello Math peeps ,

I'm constructing a Rhombic Dodecahedron and have searched online for a while to no avail for the answer to my questions.

What are the angles of a single face of the RD? I thought it was 2 equilateral triangles fixed together which made the dimensions of one face, but after building I found out that it's really not.

Here's the shape just to be clear:

and here's a website with lots of math on it yet doesn't include the angles of the RD faces (at least in a language I'm familiar with )

Thanks,
