In geometry, the elongated hexagonal bipyramid is constructed by elongating a hexagonal bipyramid (by inserting a hexagonal prism between its congruent halves).
This polyhedron is in the family of elongated bipyramids, of which the first three can be Johnson solids: J14, J15, and J16. The hexagonal form can be constructed by all regular faces but is not a Johnson solid because 6 equilateral triangles would form six co-planar faces (in a regular hexagon).
In geometry, an Archimedean solid is one of the 13 solids first enumerated by Archimedes. They are the convex uniform polyhedra composed of regular polygons meeting in identical vertices, excluding the five Platonic solids, excluding the prisms and antiprisms, and excluding the pseudorhombicuboctahedron. They are a subset of the Johnson solids, whose regular polygonal faces do not need to meet in identical vertices.
In geometry, a dodecahedron or duodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid. There are also three regular star dodecahedra, which are constructed as stellations of the convex form. All of these have icosahedral symmetry, order 120.
In geometry, a Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron 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 ; it has 1 square face and 4 triangular faces. Some authors require that the solid not be uniform before they refer to it as a "Johnson solid".
In geometry, the triangular bipyramid is a type of hexahedron, being the first in the infinite set of face-transitive bipyramids. It is the dual of the triangular prism with 6 isosceles triangle faces.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal pyramid is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal pyramid by attaching a pentagonal prism to its base.
In geometry, the elongated square cupola is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a square cupola by attaching an octagonal prism to its base. The solid can be seen as a rhombicuboctahedron with its "lid" removed.
In geometry, the elongated square gyrobicupola or pseudo-rhombicuboctahedron is one of the Johnson solids. 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 map every vertex to every other vertex. It strongly resembles, but should not be mistaken for, the rhombicuboctahedron, which is an Archimedean solid. It is also a canonical polyhedron.
In geometry, the square orthobicupola is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by joining two square cupolae along their octagonal bases, matching like faces. A 45-degree rotation of one cupola before the joining yields a square gyrobicupola.
In geometry, the square gyrobicupola is one of the Johnson solids. Like the square orthobicupola, it can be obtained by joining two square cupolae along their bases. The difference is that in this solid, the two halves are rotated 45 degrees with respect to one another.
In geometry, the elongated square pyramid is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a square pyramid by attaching a cube to its square base. Like any elongated pyramid, it is topologically self-dual.
In geometry, the elongated triangular bipyramid or triakis triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids, convex polyhedra whose faces are regular polygons. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a triangular bipyramid by inserting a triangular prism between its congruent halves.
In geometry, the elongated square bipyramid is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating an octahedron by inserting a cube between its congruent halves.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal bipyramid or pentakis pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal bipyramid by inserting a pentagonal prism between its congruent halves.
In geometry, the elongated triangular cupola is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a triangular cupola by attaching a hexagonal prism to its base.
A hexagonal bipyramid is a polyhedron formed from two hexagonal pyramids joined at their bases. The resulting solid has 12 triangular faces, 8 vertices and 18 edges. The 12 faces are identical isosceles triangles.
In geometry, the elongated bipyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by elongating an n-gonal bipyramid.
In geometry, a near-miss Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron whose faces are close to being regular polygons but some or all of which are not precisely regular. Thus, it fails to meet the definition of a Johnson solid, a polyhedron whose faces are all regular, though it "can often be physically constructed without noticing the discrepancy" between its regular and irregular faces. The precise number of near-misses depends on how closely the faces of such a polyhedron are required to approximate regular polygons.
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, the elongated pyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an n-gonal pyramid to an n-gonal prism. Along with the set of pyramids, these figures are topologically self-dual.
In geometry, the gyroelongated pyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an n-gonal pyramid to an n-gonal antiprism.
