In geometry, the pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda is one of the Johnson solids (J₃₃). Like the pentagonal orthocupolarotunda (J₃₂), it can be constructed by joining a pentagonal cupola (J₅) and a pentagonal rotunda (J₆) along their decagonal bases. The difference is that in this solid, the two halves are rotated 36 degrees with respect to one another.

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]

Formulae

The following formulae for volume and surface area can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a: ^[2]

${\displaystyle V={\frac {5}{12}}\left(11+5{\sqrt {5}}\right)a^{3}\approx 9.24181...a^{3}}$

${\displaystyle A=\left(5+{\frac {15}{4}}{\sqrt {3}}+{\frac {7}{4}}{\sqrt {25+10{\sqrt {5}}}}\right)a^{2}\approx 23.5385...a^{2}}$
