https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroelongated%20pentagonal%20cupola | In geometry, the gyroelongated pentagonal cupola is one of the Johnson solids (J24). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by gyroelongating a pentagonal cupola (J5) by attaching a decagonal antiprism to its base. It can also be seen as a gyroelongated pentagonal bicupola (J46) with one pentagonal cupola removed.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrobifastigium | In geometry, the gyrobifastigium is the 26th Johnson solid (). It can be constructed by joining two face-regular triangular prisms along corresponding square faces, giving a quarter-turn to one prism. It is the only Johnson solid that can tile three-dimensional space.
It is also the vertex figure of the nonuniform du... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal%20orthobicupola | In geometry, the pentagonal orthobicupola is one of the Johnson solids (). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by joining two pentagonal cupolae () along their decagonal bases, matching like faces. A 36-degree rotation of one cupola before the joining yields a pentagonal gyrobicupola ().

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal%20gyrobicupola | In geometry, the pentagonal gyrobicupola is one of the Johnson solids (). Like the pentagonal orthobicupola (), it can be obtained by joining two pentagonal cupolae () along their bases. The difference is that in this solid, the two halves are rotated 36 degrees with respect to one another.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented%20triangular%20prism | In geometry, the augmented triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by augmenting a triangular prism by attaching a square pyramid () to one of its equatorial faces. The resulting solid bears a superficial resemblance to the gyrobifastigium (), the difference being t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biaugmented%20triangular%20prism | In geometry, the biaugmented triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by augmenting a triangular prism by attaching square pyramids () to two of its equatorial faces.
It is related to the augmented triangular prism () and the triaugmented triangular prism ().
