Geometry

Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....

, the elongated pentagonal gyrobirotunda is one of the Johnson solid

Johnson solid

In geometry, a Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron, each face of which is a regular polygon, but which is not uniform, i.e., not a Platonic solid, Archimedean solid, prism or antiprism. There is no requirement that each face must be the same polygon, or that the same polygons join around...

s (J₄₃). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a "pentagonal gyrobirotunda," or icosidodecahedron

Icosidodecahedron

In geometry, an icosidodecahedron is a polyhedron with twenty triangular faces and twelve pentagonal faces. An icosidodecahedron has 30 identical vertices, with two triangles and two pentagons meeting at each, and 60 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a pentagon...

Archimedean solid

In geometry an Archimedean solid is a highly symmetric, semi-regular convex polyhedron composed of two or more types of regular polygons meeting in identical vertices...

s), by inserting a decagonal prism

Decagonal prism

In geometry, the decagonal prism is the eighth in an 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.If faces are all regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron....

Pentagonal rotunda

In geometry, the pentagonal rotunda is one of the Johnson solids . It can be seen as half an icosidodecahedron.The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.-Formulae:...

Elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda

In geometry, the elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda is one of the Johnson solids . As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal orthobirotunda by inserting a decagonal prism between its congruent halves...

 and surface area

Surface area

Surface area is the measure of how much exposed area a solid object has, expressed in square units. Mathematical description of the surface area is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of a curve. For polyhedra the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces...
