// Hollow Dodecahedron
// A regular dodecahedron or pentagonal dodecahedron is a dodecahedron composed of regular pentagonal faces, three meeting at each vertex. This example shows constructing the individual faces of the dodecahedron and extruding inwards.

// circumscribed radius

// thickness of the dodecahedron

// angle between faces in radians

// inscribed radius

// pentagon edge length

// pentagon radius
