Properties

The sphenomegacorona was named by Johnson (1966) in which he used the prefix spheno- referring to a wedge-like complex formed by two adjacent lunesa square with equilateral triangles attached on its opposite sides. The suffix -megacorona refers to a crownlike complex of 12 triangles, contrasted with the smaller triangular complex that makes the sphenocorona. [1] By joining both complexes together, the resulting polyhedron has 16 equilateral triangles and 2 squares, making 18 faces. [2] All of its faces are regular polygons, categorizing the sphenomegacorona as a Johnson solid a convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygonsenumerated as the 88th Johnson solid . [3] It is elementary, meaning it does not arise from "cut-and-paste" manipulations of both Platonic and Archimedean solids. [4]

The surface area of a sphenomegacorona with edge length a can be calculated as:

and its volume as

where the decimal expansion of ξ is given by A334114. [2] [5]

Cartesian coordinates

Let k ≈ 0.59463 be the smallest positive root of the polynomial

Then, Cartesian coordinates of a sphenomegacorona with edge length 2 are given by the union of the orbits of the points

under the action of the group generated by reflections about the xz-plane and the yz-plane. [6]

In geometry, the elongated square gyrobicupola is a polyhedron constructed by two square cupolas attaching onto the bases of octagonal prism, with one of them rotated. It is also known as pseudo-rhombicuboctahedron because many mathematicians mistakenly constructed a rhombicuboctahedron. It is not considered to be an Archimedean solid because it lacks a set of global symmetries that map every vertex to every other vertex, unlike the 13 Archimedean solids. It is also a canonical polyhedron.
