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.
