9th Johnson solid (11 faces)
3D model of an elongated pentagonal pyramid
In geometry , the elongated pentagonal pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (J 9 ). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal pyramid (J 2 ) by attaching a pentagonal prism to its base.
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 following formulae for the height (

Dual polyhedron
The dual of the elongated pentagonal pyramid has 11 faces: 5 triangular, 1 pentagonal and 5 trapezoidal. It is topologically identical to the Johnson solid.
