Let $D$ be a dodecahedron which can be inscribed in a sphere with radius $R$. Let $I$ be an icosahedron which can also be inscribed in a sphere of radius $R$. Which has the greater volume, and why? Note: A regular [i]polyhedron [/i] is a geometric solid, all of whose faces are congruent regular polygons, in which the same number of polygons meet at each vertex. A regular dodecahedron is a polyhedron with $12$ faces which are regular pentagons and a regular icosahedron is a polyhedron with $20$ faces which are equilateral triangles. A polyhedron is inscribed in a sphere if all of its vertices lie on the surface of the sphere. The illustration below shows a dodecahdron and an icosahedron, not necessarily to scale.
