File:J9 elongated pentagonal pyramid.stl The elongated pentagonal pyramid is a polyhedron constructed by attaching one pentagonal pyramid onto one of the pentagonal prism's bases, a process known as elongation. It is an example of composite polyhedron.[2][3] This construction involves the removal of one pentagonal face and replacing it with the pyramid. The resulting polyhedron has five equilateral triangles, five squares, and one pentagon as its faces.[4] It remains convex, with the faces are all regular polygons, so the elongated pentagonal pyramid is Johnson solid, enumerated as the ninth Johnson solid J9.[5]

For edge length , an elongated pentagonal pyramid has a surface area A by summing the area of all faces, and volume V by totaling the volume of a pentagonal pyramid's Johnson solid and regular pentagonal prism:[4] A=20+53+25+105428.8862,V=5+5+625+1052432.0223.

The elongated pentagonal pyramid has a dihedral between its adjacent faces:[6]

  • the dihedral angle between adjacent squares is the internal angle of the prism's pentagonal base, 108°;
  • the dihedral angle between the pentagon and a square is the right angle, 90°;
  • the dihedral angle between adjacent triangles is that of a regular icosahedron, 138.19°; and
  • the dihedral angle between a triangle and an adjacent square is the sum of the angle between those in a pentagonal pyramid and the angle between the base of and the lateral face of a prism, 127.37°.
