In geometry, the gyrate bidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J82). It can be produced by removing two pentagonal cupolae and rotating a third pentagonal cupola through 36 degrees.

Geometry branch of mathematics that measures the shape, size and position of objects

Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

Johnson solid convex polyhedron, each face of which is a regular polygon

In geometry, a Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron, which is not uniform, and each face of which is a regular polygon. There is no requirement that each face must be the same polygon, or that the same polygons join around each vertex. An example of a Johnson solid is the square-based pyramid with equilateral sides (J1); it has 1 square face and 4 triangular faces.

Pentagonal cupola Johnson solid

In geometry, the pentagonal cupola is one of the Johnson solids (J5). It can be obtained as a slice of the rhombicosidodecahedron. The pentagonal cupola consists of 5 equilateral triangles, 5 squares, 1 pentagon, and 1 decagon.

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that have regular faces but are not uniform (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966. [1]

Polyhedron solid in three dimensions with flat faces

In geometry, a polyhedron is a solid in three dimensions with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices. The word polyhedron comes from the Classical Greek πολύεδρον, as poly- + -hedron.

A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags. A regular polyhedron is highly symmetrical, being all of edge-transitive, vertex-transitive and face-transitive. In classical contexts, many different equivalent definitions are used; a common one is that faces are congruent regular polygons which are assembled in the same way around each vertex.

Uniform polyhedron polyhedron which has regular polygons as faces and is vertex-transitive

A uniform polyhedron is a polyhedron which has regular polygons as faces and is vertex-transitive. It follows that all vertices are congruent.

Rhombicosidodecahedron Archimedean solid

In geometry, the rhombicosidodecahedron, is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces.

Elongated square gyrobicupola Johnson solid

In geometry, the elongated square gyrobicupola or pseudorhombicuboctahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J37). It is not usually considered to be an Archimedean solid, even though its faces consist of regular polygons that meet in the same pattern at each of its vertices, because unlike the 13 Archimedean solids, it lacks a set of global symmetries that take every vertex to every other vertex. It strongly resembles, but should not be mistaken for, the small rhombicuboctahedron, which is an Archimedean solid.

As in all cupolae, the base polygon has twice as many edges and vertices as the top; in this case the base polygon is a decagram.
