In geometry, the elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda is one of the Johnson solids . Its Conway polyhedron notation is at5jP5. As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal orthobirotunda by inserting a decagonal prism between its congruent halves. Rotating one of the pentagonal rotundae through 36 degrees before inserting the prism yields the elongated pentagonal gyrobirotunda .

Formulae

The following formulae for volume and surface area can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a:[1]

V=1

\left(45+17\sqrt{5}+15\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}\right)a3 ≈ 21.5297...a3

A=\left(10+\sqrt{30\left(10+3\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{75+30\sqrt{5}}\right)}\right)a2 ≈ 39.306...a2
