In geometry, the parabiaugmented hexagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J55). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by doubly augmenting a hexagonal prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to two of its nonadjacent, parallel (opposite) equatorial faces. Attaching the pyramids to nonadjacent, nonparallel equatorial faces yields a metabiaugmented hexagonal prism. (The solid obtained by attaching pyramids to adjacent equatorial faces is not convex, and thus not a Johnson solid.)
A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (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]

In geometry, the triaugmented triangular prism, tetracaidecadeltahedron, or tetrakis triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (J51). Each of its 14 faces is an equilateral triangle, making it a deltahedron. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by attaching equilateral square pyramids (J1) to each of the three equatorial faces of the triangular prism.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (J9). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal pyramid (J2) by attaching a pentagonal prism to its base.
In geometry, the metabidiminished icosahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J62).
In geometry, the square orthobicupola is one of the Johnson solids (J28). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by joining two square cupolae (J4) along their octagonal bases, matching like faces. A 45-degree rotation of one cupola before the joining yields a square gyrobicupola (J29).
In geometry, the augmented triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (J49). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by augmenting a triangular prism by attaching a square pyramid (J1) to one of its equatorial faces. The resulting solid bears a superficial resemblance to the gyrobifastigium (J26), the difference being that the latter is constructed by attaching a second triangular prism, rather than a square pyramid.
In geometry, the biaugmented triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (J50). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by augmenting a triangular prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to two of its equatorial faces.
In geometry, the augmented pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J52). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by augmenting a pentagonal prism by attaching a square pyramid (J1) to one of its equatorial faces.
In geometry, the biaugmented pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J53). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by doubly augmenting a pentagonal prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to two of its nonadjacent equatorial faces.
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, a metabiaugmented hexagonal prism or a triaugmented hexagonal prism.
In geometry, the metabiaugmented hexagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J56). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by doubly augmenting a hexagonal prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to two of its nonadjacent, nonparallel equatorial faces. Attaching the pyramids to opposite equatorial faces yields a parabiaugmented hexagonal prism.
In geometry, the triaugmented hexagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J57). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by triply augmenting a hexagonal prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to three of its nonadjacent equatorial faces.
In geometry, the augmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J58), consisting of a dodecahedron with a pentagonal pyramid (J2) attached to one of the faces. When two or three such pyramids are attached, the result may be a parabiaugmented dodecahedron, a metabiaugmented dodecahedron or a triaugmented dodecahedron.
In geometry, the parabiaugmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J59). It can be seen as a dodecahedron with two pentagonal pyramids (J2) attached to opposite faces. When pyramids are attached to a dodecahedron in other ways, they may result in an augmented dodecahedron, a metabiaugmented dodecahedron, a triaugmented dodecahedron, or even a pentakis dodecahedron if the faces are made to be irregular.
In geometry, the metabiaugmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J60). It can be viewed as a dodecahedron with two pentagonal pyramids (J2) attached to two faces that are separated by one face. When pyramids are attached to a dodecahedron in other ways, they may result in an augmented dodecahedron, a parabiaugmented dodecahedron, a triaugmented dodecahedron, or even a pentakis dodecahedron if the faces are made to be irregular.
In geometry, the triaugmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J61). It can be seen as a dodecahedron with three pentagonal pyramids (J2) attached to nonadjacent faces.
In geometry, the elongated triangular cupola is one of the Johnson solids (J18). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a triangular cupola (J3) by attaching a hexagonal prism to its base.
In geometry, the elongated triangular orthobicupola or cantellated triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (J35). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a triangular orthobicupola (J27) by inserting a hexagonal prism between its two halves. The resulting solid is superficially similar to the rhombicuboctahedron, with the difference that it has threefold rotational symmetry about its axis instead of fourfold symmetry.
In geometry, the parabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J69). As its name suggests, it is created by attaching two pentagonal cupolas (J5) onto two parallel decagonal faces of a truncated dodecahedron.
In geometry, the metabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J70). As its name suggests, it is created by attaching two pentagonal cupolas (J5) onto two nonadjacent, nonparallel decagonal faces of a truncated dodecahedron.
In geometry, the triaugmented truncated dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J71); of them, it has the greatest volume in proportion to the cube of the side length. As its name suggests, it is created by attaching three pentagonal cupolas (J5) onto three nonadjacent decagonal faces of a truncated dodecahedron.
