In geometry, the elongated pentagonal gyrobirotunda or elongated icosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids . As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a "pentagonal gyrobirotunda," or icosidodecahedron (one of the Archimedean solids), 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 .
The following formulae for volume and surface area can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a:[1]
