In geometry, the elongated triangular bipyramid (or dipyramid) or triakis triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (J14), convex polyhedra whose faces are regular polygons. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a triangular bipyramid (J12) by inserting a triangular prism between its congruent halves.
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]
The nirrosula, an African musical instrument woven out of strips of plant leaves, is made in the form of a series of elongated bipyramids with non-equilateral triangles as the faces of their end caps. [2]
The following formulae for volume (), surface area () and height () can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a:
The dual of the elongated triangular bipyramid is called a triangular bifrustum and has 8 faces: 6 trapezoidal and 2 triangular.

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 pentagonal bipyramid is third of the infinite set of face-transitive bipyramids, and the 13th Johnson solid. Each bipyramid is the dual of a uniform prism.
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 square cupola, sometimes called lesser dome, is one of the Johnson solids. It can be obtained as a slice of the rhombicuboctahedron. As in all cupolae, the base polygon has twice as many edges and vertices as the top; in this case the base polygon is an octagon.
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 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 pentagonal gyrobirotunda is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a "pentagonal gyrobirotunda," or icosidodecahedron, by inserting a decagonal prism between its congruent halves. Rotating one of the pentagonal rotundae through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields an elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda is one of the Johnson solids. Its Conway polyhedron notation is at5jP5. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal orthobirotunda by inserting a decagonal prism between its congruent halves. Rotating one of the pentagonal rotundae through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields the elongated pentagonal gyrobirotunda.
In geometry, the pentagonal cupola is one of the Johnson solids. 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.
In geometry, the elongated triangular pyramid is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a tetrahedron by attaching a triangular prism to its base. Like any elongated pyramid, the resulting solid is topologically self-dual.
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 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 cupola is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal cupola by attaching a decagonal prism to its base. The solid can also be seen as an elongated pentagonal orthobicupola with its "lid" removed.
In geometry, the gyrobifastigium is the 26th Johnson solid. It can be constructed by joining two face-regular triangular prisms along corresponding square faces, giving a quarter-turn to one prism. It is the only Johnson solid that can tile three-dimensional space.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal orthobicupola or cantellated pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal orthobicupola by inserting a decagonal prism between its two congruent halves. Rotating one of the cupolae through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields an elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal gyrobicupola by inserting a decagonal prism between its congruent halves. Rotating one of the pentagonal cupolae through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields an elongated pentagonal orthobicupola.
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.
In geometry, the gyroelongated triangular cupola is one of the Johnson solids (J22). It can be constructed by attaching a hexagonal antiprism to the base of a triangular cupola (J3). This is called "gyroelongation", which means that an antiprism is joined to the base of a solid, or between the bases of more than one solid.
In geometry, the elongated triangular gyrobicupola is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a "triangular gyrobicupola," or cuboctahedron, by inserting a hexagonal prism between its two halves, which are congruent triangular cupolae. Rotating one of the cupolae through 60 degrees before the elongation yields the triangular orthobicupola.
In geometry, the elongated pentagonal orthocupolarotunda is one of the Johnson solids. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal orthocupolarotunda by inserting a decagonal prism between its halves. Rotating either the cupola or the rotunda through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields an elongated pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda.
