3D model of an elongated pentagonal pyramid

The elongated pentagonal pyramid is a polyhedron constructed by attaching one pentagonal pyramid onto one of the pentagonal prism's bases, a process known as elongation. It is an example of composite polyhedron.[1][2] This construction involves the removal of one pentagonal face and replacing it with the pyramid. The resulting polyhedron has five equilateral triangles, five squares, and one pentagon as its faces.[3] It remains convex, with the faces are all regular polygons, so the elongated pentagonal pyramid is Johnson solid, enumerated as the sixteenth Johnson solid .[4]

For edge length , an elongated pentagonal pyramid has a surface area by summing the area of all faces, and volume by totaling the volume of a pentagonal pyramid's Johnson solid and regular pentagonal prism:[3]

The elongated pentagonal pyramid has a dihedral between its adjacent faces:[5]

  • the dihedral angle between square-to-square is the internal angle of its pentagonal base of a prism, 108°;
  • the dihedral angle between pentagon-to-square is the right angle, 90°;
  • the dihedral angle between triangle-to-triangle is the dihedral angle of a pentagonal pyramid between those, 138.19°; and
  • the dihedral angle between triangle-to-square is the sum of the angle between those in a pentagonal pyramid and the angle between the base of and the lateral face of a prism, 127.37°
