This Demonstration shows the dissection of a concave or convex rhombic triacontahedron into 24 eighths of a Bilinski dodecahedron and a cube. The faces of the polyhedra are congruent golden rhombi. In the concave case, the side of the cube is the smaller diagonal of the golden rhombus. In the convex case, the side of the cube is the larger diagonal of the golden rhombus.
