The triangles {(t,T,T)} have vertex angles t = acos[(1+5 sqrt(5))/16] = 40.423604° resp. T = acos[(5-sqrt(5))/8] = 69.788198°.

Note that the term pentagonal dipyramid, although stated above, in general says nothing about the relative ratio of the to be chosen lacing edge size. Here the edge ratio is chosen such as to match their duality to the pentagonal prism.

The c edge, provided in the below description, only qualifies as pseudo edge wrt. the full polyhedron.
