Decagonal prism
From HandWiki
Template:Prism even polyhedron stat table In geometry, the decagonal prism is the eighth in the infinite set of prisms, formed by ten square side faces and two regular decagon caps. With twelve faces, it is one of many nonregular dodecahedra. The decagonal prism has 12 faces, 30 edges, and 20 vertices, so, it is a dodecahedron (while the term is usually applied to regular dodecahedron or rhombic dodecahedron.). If faces are all regular, it is a semiregular or prismatic uniform polyhedron.
Uses
The decagonal prism exists as cells in two four-dimensional uniform 4-polytopes:

Decagonal prisms are often used in combination locks.[citation needed]
