In geometry, the elongated pentagonal orthobicupola or cantellated pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids .[1] As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal orthobicupola by inserting a decagonal prism between its two congruent halves. Rotating one of the cupolae through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields an elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola .

Formulae

The following formulae for volume and surface area can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a:[2]

V=1
6

\left(10+8\sqrt{5}+15\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}\right)a3 ≈ 12.3423...a3

A=\left(20+\sqrt{5
2

\left(10+\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{75+30\sqrt{5}}\right)}\right)a2 ≈ 27.7711...a2
