An Archimedean Solid whose Dual Polyhedron is the Triakis Icosahedron. It has Schläfli Symbol t$\{5,3\}$. It is also Uniform Polyhedron $U_{26}$ and has Wythoff Symbol $2\,3\,\vert\,5$. Its faces are $20\{3\}+12\{10\}$. The Inradius, Midradius, and Circumradius for $a=1$ are

$\displaystyle r$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle {\textstyle{5\over 488}}(17\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{10}\,)\sqrt{37+15\sqrt{5}} \approx 2.88526$  
$\displaystyle \rho$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle {\textstyle{1\over 4}}(5+3\sqrt{5}\,) \approx 2.92705$  
$\displaystyle R$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle {\textstyle{1\over 4}}\sqrt{74+30\sqrt{5}} \approx 2.96945.$
