    GB HC IAof a regular icosahedron, eight of whose faces are inscribed in the faces of ABCDEF .
    Find ρ .

    Solution: (1 + 5) / 2
    Let J lie on edge CE such that = ρ . Then we must have that HIJ is another face of e jthe icosahedron, so in particular, HI = HJ . But since BC and CE are perpendicular,JC

    HJ = HC 2. By the Law of Cosines, HI = HC + CI − 2 HC · CI cos 60 =

    HC (1 + ρ − ρ ). Therefore, 2 = 1 + ρ − ρ , or ρ − ρ − 1 = 0, giving ρ = .
