notes: label: Description
content: This cut, folded, and glued model is made up of three congruent paper parts held together with five pieces of translucent green celluloid. Each part has five points. A triangle labeled 9, a triangle labeled 10, and a triangle labeled 5’ meet at each of the points. The triangles labeled 9 are coplanar with quadrilaterals labeled 7 (five in each congruent part), together forming larger triangles. Each triangle labeled 10 is coplanar with a smaller triangle labeled 6, together forming larger triangles. Each triangle labeled 5’ is coplanar a triangle labeled 4. There also appear to be five. triangles labeled 4 that alternate with the triangles labeled 4 that are coplanar with the 5’ triangles. These ten trinagles labeled 4 form the bottom of each part.
