In geometry, the augmented hexagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J54). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by augmenting a hexagonal prism by attaching a square pyramid (J1) to one of its equatorial faces. When two or three such pyramids are attached, the result may be a parabiaugmented hexagonal prism (J55), a metabiaugmented hexagonal prism (J56), or a triaugmented hexagonal prism (J57).
The augmented hexagonal prism is constructed by attaching one equilateral square pyramid onto the square face of a hexagonal prism, a process known as augmentation. [1] This construction involves the removal of the prism square face and replacing it with the square pyramid, so that there are eleven faces: four equilateral triangles, five squares, and two regular hexagons. [2] A convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular is a Johnson solid, and the augmented hexagonal prism is among them, enumerated as . [3] Relatedly, two or three equilateral square pyramids attaching onto more square faces of the prism give more different Johnson solids; these are the parabiaugmented hexagonal prism , the metabiaugmented hexagonal prism , and the triaugmented hexagonal prism . [1]
An augmented hexagonal prism with edge length has surface area [2]
the sum of two hexagons, four equilateral triangles, and five squares area. Its volume [2]
can be obtained by slicing into one equilateral square pyramid and one hexagonal prism, and adding their volume up. [2]
It has an axis of symmetry passing through the apex of a square pyramid and the centroid of a prism square face, rotated in a half and full-turn angle. Its dihedral angle can be obtained by calculating the angle of a square pyramid and a hexagonal prism in the following: [4]
In geometry, the triangular bipyramid is the hexahedron with six triangular faces, constructed by attaching two tetrahedrons face-to-face. The same shape is also called the triangular dipyramid or trigonal bipyramid. If these tetrahedrons are regular, all faces of triangular bipyramid are equilateral. It is an example of a deltahedron and of a Johnson solid.
In geometry, the gyroelongated square bipyramid is a polyhedron with 16 triangular faces. it can be constructed from a square antiprism by attaching two equilateral square pyramids to each of its square faces. The same shape is also called hexakaidecadeltahedron, heccaidecadeltahedron, or tetrakis square antiprism; these last names mean a polyhedron with 16 triangular faces. It is an example of deltahedron, and of a Johnson solid.
The triaugmented triangular prism, in geometry, is a convex polyhedron with 14 equilateral triangles as its faces. It can be constructed from a triangular prism by attaching equilateral square pyramids to each of its three square faces. The same shape is also called the tetrakis triangular prism, tricapped trigonal prism, tetracaidecadeltahedron, or tetrakaidecadeltahedron; these last names mean a polyhedron with 14 triangular faces. It is an example of a deltahedron and of a Johnson solid.
In geometry, the pentagonal bipyramid is a polyhedron with 10 triangular faces. It is constructed by attaching two pentagonal pyramids to each of their bases. If the triangular faces are equilateral, the pentagonal bipyramid is an example of deltahedra, and of Johnson solid.
In geometry, the gyroelongated square pyramid is the Johnson solid that can be constructed by attaching an equilateral square pyramid to a square antiprism. It occurs in the chemistry such as square antiprismatic molecular geometry.
In geometry, a square pyramid is a pyramid with a square base, having a total of five faces. If the apex of the pyramid is directly above the center of the square, it is a right square pyramid with four isosceles triangles; otherwise, it is an oblique square pyramid. When all of the pyramid's edges are equal in length, its triangles are all equilateral, and it is called an equilateral square pyramid.
In geometry, the triangular cupola is the cupola with hexagon as its base and triangle as its top. If the edges are equal in length, the triangular cupola is the Johnson solid. It can be seen as half a cuboctahedron. Many polyhedrons can be constructed involving the attachment of the base of a triangular cupola.
In geometry, the square cupola the cupola with octagonal base. In the case of edges are equal in length, it is the Johnson solid, a convex polyhedron with faces are regular. It can be used to construct many polyhedrons, particularly in other Johnson solids.
In geometry, the gyroelongated square bicupola is the Johnson solid constructed by attaching two square cupolae on each base of octagonal antiprism. It has the property of chirality.
In geometry, the augmented sphenocorona is the Johnson solid that can be constructed by attaching an equilateral square pyramid to one of the square faces of the sphenocorona. It is the only Johnson solid arising from "cut and paste" manipulations where the components are not all prisms, antiprisms or sections of Platonic or Archimedean solids.
In geometry, the elongated triangular pyramid is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a tetrahedron by attaching a triangular prism to its base. Like any elongated pyramid, the resulting solid is topologically self-dual.

In geometry, the elongated square bipyramid is the polyhedron constructed by attaching two equilateral square pyramids onto a cube's faces that are opposite each other. It can also be seen as 4 lunes linked together with squares to squares and triangles to triangles. It is also been named the pencil cube or 12-faced pencil cube due to its shape.

In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform.
A tetradecahedron is a polyhedron with 14 faces. There are numerous topologically distinct forms of a tetradecahedron, with many constructible entirely with regular polygon faces.
In geometry, chamfering or edge-truncation is a topological operator that modifies one polyhedron into another. It is similar to expansion: it moves the faces apart (outward), and adds a new face between each two adjacent faces; but contrary to expansion, it maintains the original vertices. For a polyhedron, this operation adds a new hexagonal face in place of each original edge.
