Elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola

Template:Short description {{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}}Template:Template other

In geometry, the elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola is one of the Johnson solids (Template:Math). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal gyrobicupola (Template:Math) by inserting a decagonal prism between its congruent halves. Rotating one of the pentagonal cupolae (Template:Math) through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields an elongated pentagonal orthobicupola (Template:Math).

Formulae

The following formulae for volume and surface area can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a:<ref>Stephen Wolfram, "Elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola" from Wolfram Alpha. Retrieved July 25, 2010.</ref>

<math>V=\frac{1}{6}\left(10+8\sqrt{5}+15\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}\right)a^3\approx12.3423...a^3</math>

<math>A=\left(20+\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}\left(10+\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{75+30\sqrt{5}}\right)}\right)a^2\approx27.7711...a^2</math>
