Elongated pyramid explained

Faces: triangles
squares
1
Dual:self-dual
Properties:convex

In geometry, the elongated pyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an pyramid to an prism. Along with the set of pyramids, these figures are topologically self-dual.

There are three elongated pyramids that are Johnson solids:

Higher forms can be constructed with isosceles triangles.

Forms

name faces
elongated triangular pyramid (J7) 3+1 triangles, 3 squares
elongated square pyramid (J8) 4 triangles, 4+1 squares
elongated pentagonal pyramid (J9) 5 triangles, 5 squares, 1 pentagon
